“Would You Rather…” First Grade Writing Prompts
“Would you rather…” writing starters for first grade are designed to get kids using their critical thinking skills. Challenge your students to evaluate two different options and choose one. Prior to having kids journal, discuss the question first. As part of the discussion, challenge kids to think about both options and discuss why they might like both options.
Remind kids to start their journal entry with “I would rather have a _______”, and then challenge them to write at least two reasons why they picked that choice. Finally, remind them to end with a closing sentence similar to, “Now you know why I would rather have a ______.” This first grade writing activity teaches students the importance of having a beginning, middle, and end when they are writing.
