Looking for a good “getting to know you” writing prompt for the beginning of the school year?
Ask students to start a piece of writing with the following statement: What you have heard is true. See where their pens take them from there!
Steal This Idea is a roundup of submissions from NYCWP-affiliated teachers; in this space you will have access to the ideas and innovations of a wide range of classroom teachers of all grades and content areas. The title says it all: if you like an idea you find here, bring it to your own classroom and make it your own!
Steal This Idea started as a component of the NYCWP newsletter and has become an NYCWP tradition. However, this tradition relies on you to help! We need you to send us ideas that you would like the community to have the opportunity to steal.
- Have you done something in your classroom recently that went really well?
- Do you have a great idea for a lesson, unit or essential question?
- What’s a foolproof activity that everyone should have in their tool kit?
- What is your favorite thing that you do in your classroom?
Send us your ideas at newyorkcitywritingproject.org with the subject line “Steal This Idea” and you may see yourself featured in this section!
