Editorial Reviews

Product Description
High school exit exams, college placement exams, and other important high stakes tests require students to answer specific questions—in writing—while under pressure. In fact, the written exercises students encounter are assigned with the clock ticking and anxiety rising, so it is important to have a strong grounding in basic writing skills so that students can do their best when put to the test. 501Writing Prompts uses over 500 sample writing prompts that simulate actual test questions, all designed to help students gain the writing skills needed to ace exams. This book teaches precisely how to pull together the right "250 words or less" to answer any writing prompt and full answers and explanations are included with each question. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great classroom source!, January 5, 2007
One of the problems facing teachers is students lack of proper written communication. They live in the technology age and their formal writing is reflecting this.

This book was a great source for me to have relevant topics for students. There were topics for EVERY student, no matter his/her interest(s).

I also like the presentation of material. There are rubrics that grade the sample essays on a scale from 1 to 6.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR A FIRST-TIME WRITING TEACHER, May 13, 2007
By M. MCDONALD "booky teacher" (Grand Rapids, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This not only gives you 501 writing prompts (some not all that great, but there are so many it makes up for that downfall)... it gives you samples of different student writing that fits each style - personal narrative, persuasive, etc. - and rubrics for each style also! I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I was told I was going to be teaching writing to secondary students, but this book eased a lot of my fears and helped me through!
