What types of paragraph prompts are appropriate for 2nd graders?⌄
Appropriate prompts include opinion topics (your favorite book), informative topics (what you know about dolphins), and narrative topics (a time you learned something new) — all within the range of 2nd grade writing standards.
Can paragraph writing prompts be used for formative or summative assessment?⌄
Yes, paragraph writing prompts are flexible enough to serve as quick formative checks or as summative assessments at the end of a writing unit, giving teachers a clear picture of each student's paragraph writing ability.
