I teach middle and high school age students and they're great. They're really great. BUT sometimes they can be downright awful to each other. The drama we see in middle school students can be out of control!!

I value the classroom community I create throughout the year - I value the open communication, the easy joking, the laughter and the fun. But... I know my students need reminders. Reminders to be respectful, reminders to be kind, reminders to show empathy...
Here's an easy and FREE set of writing prompts to help remind your students of the value of kindness, the value of friendship and the value of respect. It's amazing how far a little reminder can go with my students.... and I hope with yours.
Click HERE to grab your copy of the writing prompts that have been inspired by quotes from famous literature. Use these quotes as bell ringers, inspiration for a longer essay, paragraph practice, an anti-bullying unit or a class discussion!
As an extension activity I have includesd a blank version of the writing paper so that you or your students can add your own writing prompt. Why not ask them to find a quote about kindness or empathy from their favourite book, a famous movie or from a well-known historical figure.
