Enjoy using the PowerPoints to explore how fun reading and writing can be!Writing to Test PromptsIn this era of testing, children often become concerned about having to write a response based on a prompt. But prompts can be a lot of fun! Use the PowerPoints below to help students learn easy steps that will help plan responses to prompts.Teachers can decide at all grade levels if the activity will end with the pre-writing stage or will be developed into a full writing activity. I do strongly suggest that you allow the students to choose what picture prompts they want to complete. And don't forget to have fun!  Responding to a Quotation: On some assessments, students in grades 6 through 12 may be asked to respond to a quote. This exercise actually can be utilized to help students develop exemplary writing skills. An excellent method of writing an introduction to an essay is by using a quote to hook the reader. These PowerPoints will help students identify the various types of quotes, decide how to respond to these types of quotes, and have a strategy to answer a quote that is unclear. Teachers can print out these PowerPoints in "Notes" format to access notes to make the presentation.
