Hi! I’m Olivia from UPBEAT ELA.

👉🏼 Unexpected,
👉🏼 Positive,
👉🏼 Bold,
👉🏼 Engaging,
👉🏼 Active, and
👉🏼 Transformational.
What do educators LOVE about these writing prompts?
“Used these with my 5th graders who were in desperate need of writing practice. We got some great informative essays out of these.”
“Our girls loved doing the Unsolved Mysteries! Each of the 5 prompts was something brand new to them, so they had no preconceived notions or ideas of what happened. What a fun new way to write!”
“This reminds me of the first writing assignment that I actually remember. (6th grade) And that was about 70 years ago. Did I mention that I was a teacher for 50+ years? You never know what lights that spark.”
