This is an Inventions Writing Prompt Bundle that is a 34-page printable accessible as a PDF file. Within this bundle, you will receive “writing hacks” that are filled with the do’s and don’ts of writing as well as proofreading tips. Each writing page will present students with a real invention tow rite about it. There is also a blank page at the end. How do I implement the Inventions Informative Writing Prompt Bundle? Whether you have just introduced informative writing, or you are reviewing this writing skill, there is an opportunity to utilize this bundle. You should print off the writing tips page for each student. For the writing pages included in the bundle, you can: -Print off all the pages, -Print off select pages if you can only implement a few at a time, or -Have students pick pages that interest them. When students have the writing pages they are going to complete, students can work with a partner or small group to brainstorm and come up with ideas. Being able to work with classmates can often take the intimidation out of the writing process. Give students time to write down their ideas, which my brainstorming sheets can help with. When students are ready, they can begin their writing piece! I hope you enjoy!
