I just posted two holiday freebies you can download in my teacher store right now!
"The Day After Halloween Creative Writing Activity"
(or it can be done anytime!)
"Thanksgiving Creative Writing Activity"
Both can be quick bell-ringers or exit slips, or used as journal prompts. They allow your students to be creative, which is always a good thing. And I like that you can use these for upper elementary students through seniors in high school. I know my older students had fun coming up with their responses. :)
Enjoy!
Oh, and they ARE aligned with the Common Core Standards. Bonus!
