End of Year Writing Prompts

For many homeschool families, the end of the academic year is approaching. In the spirit of remembering and reflection, here are some great end of the year writing prompts for children. This would be a good exercise for your last day or last week of school. 

These prompts ask your students to reflect on what they learned about the habits of great leaders, writers, thinkers, and citizens—the heart of our mission here at Silverdale Press. Save their written responses for posterity or include them in your student’s portfolio. 


​

1. What was the best book you read this year, and why?
2. Who was your favorite person from history you studied this year? Write about that person and why you found him or her interesting. 
3. Describe your favorite field trip you took this year. 
4. Discuss a memorable current event you learned about this year. (It could be anything that made the news: a sporting event, international affairs, business, technology, etc.)

Have fun, and keep writing! ​
