The Gift of Transformation

Imagine if you could transform into any animal for a day; which one would you choose and why?

This unique, imaginative writing prompt allows students to put themselves in the shoes— or paws— of a different creature. Not only does this fuel creativity and introduce children to distinct animal behaviors and habitats, but it also encourages reasoning as they discuss why they chose that particular animal. This prompt is also a great way for students to practice writing descriptive passages.
