The file is in PowerPoint. You need PowerPoint 97 or newer to open this file.

You will be able to edit this download to better fit your classroom or homeschool needs. Simply delete the “Caption this” text to write your own prompts or give verbal directions.

WHAT YOU GET:

• 5 EDITABLE writing prompt response sheets in PowerPoint (three “caption this” sheets, one pre-writing sheet, and one paragraph writing response sheet)

HOW CAN THESE PUZZLES BE USED?

• Writing centers, stations, or rotations
• Daily morning or ELA center warm-ups
• On days when you are short on time for a writing lesson
• On days where students have lost focus and you still want to squeeze some writing in
• When you want to take a break from a larger writing project, but need something engaging to fill the time
• In the special education classroom where too many words or images can overwhelm
• These also could work for Virtual Learning, eLearning, Distant Learning (or Distance Education), e-learning, Online Learning, or Remote Learning situations where the teacher is able to share their screen with students
