Prop Writing Prompt

Bobbie Brister, an English teacher at Socorro High School in El Paso, Texas

Here's a good writing prompt to use for almost any reading: 'Imagine that you are prop master for a play based on the piece we just read. What props would you bring on stage? Whose prop would it be and why is it important to the play?' Props must be explained and examples might need to be given. Kids love doing this as it gives them the opportunity to be creative.
