My Prompts

Prompt Sets

Plan a sequence of specific prompts — a week of narrative warm-ups, an escalating argumentative unit — in order, instead of a random draw each morning. Switch to “Planned Sequence” above to display one.

No prompt sets yet — choose “+ New set…” above to plan one.

Roster Assignment Sheet

Paste a class list (one name per line) to randomly pair each student with a distinct prompt from the grade band / genre filters above, then print a one-page assignment sheet for independent writing stations — each student gets a different prompt instead of the whole class getting the same one.

Paste a roster and click “Build assignment sheet.”

Writing Record

A teacher-kept log of which prompt each student wrote to, with your notes — the artifact for a conference. Nothing here is submitted by students; you type it.

No student selected

  1. Type or pick a student name above to see or add to their writing record.

Anonymous Response Display

For a whole-class revision discussion — paste a few student responses with no names attached, then project them large on the board.
