Description
It can be difficult to find the right middle school seasonal writing activity. This spring write the room gives kids a fun, easy, and meaningful way to write for different purposes. The spring-themed writing prompts have kids move around the room and randomly select a main character, minor character, setting (place), setting (time), tone, problem, figurative language/poetic device, genre, and vocabulary related to the spring season.
Here is what is included:
✅9 printable "posters" (sized 8.5 x 11), each with 6 different choices for main character, minor character, setting (place), setting (time), tone, problem, figurative language/poetic device, genre, and vocabulary.
✅Student direction page (editable)
✅Student recording page
✅Themed writing paper to write the story
✅Rubric for scoring if you'd like (editable)
✅Figurative language/poetic devices reference sheet
✅A link for digital dice is included in case you would like to use it
Here are some suggestions:
⭐️I like to print the slides and hang them around the room as posters. You can print in color, or just use black and white when printing.
⭐️The student direction slide and rubric slide are editable in case you would like to make any changes to better meet your students' needs.
⭐️Print out a student packet with their directions, recording sheet, reference sheet, writing paper, and optional rubric. Alternatively, you could post them on your Google Classroom™ or digital learning platform.
⭐️I put kids in groups. There are 9 posters, so divide your class accordingly.
⭐️I have kids go to each poster. I provide dice at each station. Whatever they roll, they record on their recording sheet. If you would prefer, I provided a link for virtual dice.
⭐️If you don't want them to use dice, you could just allow them to choose for each.
⭐️After they have gone to each poster station, they write their piece. You can print the paper or attach it to their digital learning platform.
⭐️I suggest giving kids a couple of weeks to work on their stories.
⭐️I have included an editable rubric for grading if you would like to use it. You could even print that as part of the student packet so they know how you will be scoring. Not scoring is also an option!
⭐️It would be great to make time to share some of their writing! They also make a great bulletin board display.

Enjoy!
