Quick Writes
Quick Writes are informal writing prompts that give students the opportunity to pause momentarily during reading or discussion and record their thoughts and feelings in writing. Teachers often use quick writes at the beginning of class to allow students to “dip back into” the material.

An example of a question that could be asked for Quick Writes are:
