Instructional Ideas

  • Have kids work in a group to complete the research part of the project
  • Assign a visual aid and presentation in addition to the writing assignment

Classroom Considerations

  • The prompt would be best as a research project, varying in depth according to grade level, rather than a timed writing prompt
