Questions to Ask Kids (Back to School Writing Prompts)

This workbook has seventy-five writing prompts to engage students in thinking about wildlife on their first few weeks of school. Every page has a wildlife photo and a writing prompt, like: Why are people afraid of spiders? Which parts of nature are pointy? Can plants feel pain? How do plants find water? What does an insect think about? Is a mountain alive? Do insects talk to plants? Why are some plants poisonous? What are little animals afraid of? What is a tree made of? And more. Use these seventy-five writing prompts before a discussion to help you figure out what information the students are missing, or assign these activities after research to determine what students now know.
