YouTube Writing Prompts

Discussion/writing prompts: Hero Dog Saves Kittens from Fire

K-2: Discuss "What does the video teach us about friendship?" Have students write words or sentences describing what it means to be a friend.

3-5: Who is a hero in your life? What did he/she do that was heroic?

6-8: What are three qualities someone must demonstrate to be called a hero?

9-12: Heroism is often associated with sacrifice. Is there ever a time when it is more heroic to save yourself than someone else?

We may make this a feature on the TeachHUB.com website.

I teach/model in many different grade levels in a given week; therefore I am always looking for a good writing prompt. Since each class grows and changes throughout the year, I welcome anything new and fresh to spark interest and student engagement. Bring it on!
