Third grade is full of first experiences for students. Students will apply all of the writing skills they have been learning creatively and individually this year. They need to use all of the foundations they have learned so far and think critically in their writing. They also need to develop their voice and learn to express themselves in a way that is uniquely them. To do this, each of these writing prompts has an element of openness to allow your students to develop their writing styles. The more humorous ones will let your students think about some rather interesting ideas. Use these prompts to enable your students to use their skills to become more creative.
