Fifth Grade Writing Prompts #8:
Grab Bag #1
This collection of 10 free fifth grade writing prompts didn't really fit too much with any other section I'd written, so I threw it into a wonderful grab bag. If your student doesn't really resonate with some of the other subjects I've touched upon, perhaps you'll find one here that gains some creative traction. You may notice that the numbers on this page do not start at 1 and work their way up. This is because these 10 fifth grade writing prompts are an excerpt from my book, 500 Writing Prompts for Kids: First Grade through Fifth Grade. If you like these free samples, the full version is available in both digital and paperback form.
