Each chapter in this book includes three different types of writing prompts. One of the writing prompts focuses on strengthening word choice, another focuses on being playful with your writing, and the third focuses on owning and celebrating your voice.

The writing prompts in this book are recognizable to teachers, but will probably feel interesting and novel to young writers. They include things like writing found poetry and clustering lists of words. This book provides a great opportunity for young writers to feel creative and empowered to write on their own.
