Writing prompts help build the ability to respond to questions, and they help writers get their ideas down.  Over the course of time, they build writing fluency and proficiency as well. 

 

Please give serious consideration to the prompt, doing so will highlight connections in the text we're reading.  Please use all of the time provided -- keep writing even when you think you're out of ideas.  Remember, writing is a thinking process; the more you write, the more you think!  Although I do not assess daily writing responses for conventions, use them to practice your skills – try to write in complete sentences (avoid fragments, run-ons, and comma-splices) and develop other good habits (e.g., capitalization, punctuation)
