10 Print and Go Prompts
With and Without Coloring Code Included!
teacher notesI hope your students enjoy these writing prompts!
I have included the set of prompts with the coloring code” box, as well as the same set of prompts without the “coloring code” box.
Use the prompts with the coloring code for beginning opinion writers and for those students who need extra support.
You can use the prompts without the coloring code box for those students who no longer need the support.
If you have time allow your students to share their opinions- it is fun to hear what they have to say!
