#5 The Anatomy of a Writing Prompt

In a world where anything can be used as a writing prompt, how do we pick one that will get us writing? In this episode, we’ll go full Goldilocks: what we like, what we don’t like, and what’s just right about writing prompts. Then we’ll dig into the anatomy of a really great prompt. Helping us turn our classrooms into laboratories where we can explore all kinds of creative possibilities and play in our brains! Whether you’re a writer curious about the prompting process, or a facilitator looking to reinvigorate your repertoire this episode is for you.
