A Day as the Teacher

Imagine you were the teacher for a day. Write about what you would teach and how you would do it.

This creative prompt tests first graders’ imagination and empathy by asking them to step into their teachers’ shoes. Questions to consider might include – What lessons do they think are important? How would they keep the class engaged? This will not only challenge their creative writing skills but also encourages them to think about the roles of people in authority and their impact.
