There are three different levels so it can be used for grades 1st through 8th. Students will be guided to either write a few sentences, a paragraph or an essay on the given topic.

This can be a great thing to send home with students who would otherwise not be able to participate in Valentine’s activities. It can be used as a writing activity in class for the week of Valentine’s day (or anytime in the month of February). There are over 50 graphics for different valentines, as well as three different options for line spacing AND 50 phrases that students can use to go along with their valentines.

St. Patrick’s Day Persuasive Writing Project: This is a creative writing assignment to help teach students about persuasive writing. Students complete a graphic organizer to write either a few sentences, a paragraph or an essay on the persuasive writing prompt given.

Easter Point of View Writing: This assignment is made to help students see the importance of point of view in Narrative Stories. Students will be given the same prompt but will be instructed to write the narrative from different “character’s” point of view. There are four different variations to the same prompt and students can either write multiple stories from different points of view, or each write a story from a different point of view and share and compare.

Holiday Class Books: Writing Prompts and Sentence Starters for Every Holiday: In this activity, each student writes a page about a specific prompt. In the end, all the pages will be put together into one class book that can be put in the classroom library (or given to a student for their birthday).
