Winter Writing Prompts

Thankful Lists
In this activity, students generate ideas of things they are thankful for. From that list, they then write notes or poems for those things that they are most grateful for.
Aboard the Mayflower
Why did the Pilgrims leave England? Did they find what they were seeking? How long did they have to sail on the Atlantic ocean before reaching land? What did the children do while on the ship?
These are all great questions that substitute teachers could address if the lesson plan ends early.
At Teacher Vision, they've posted a lesson plan called Aboard the Mayflower for students in grade levels 3-8 that you may find fun and interesting.
Enjoy!
