Writing Prompts
To become better writers, students need to write
regularly. Have students write something everyday to practice
writing (composition) skills: lists, letters, respond to writing
prompts.
I have collected a variety of
writing prompts from around the 'net as well as some that I have
written myself. Insha Allah I will be adding those resources as
time permits.
Please note: Some individual writing
prompts found on external sites may not be suitable for Muslim
students.
