Work on Writing

I don't have anything really fancy for Work on Writing but I do have each student a notebook and each morning I have a prompt on the board that I get from http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/journal-prompts.html.  I put the prompt on the board when they come in and they start writing as soon as they are unpacked.  The point is to write and writing they do!! Mistakes are sometime huge but when I read them I correct and then discuss why they need to add a period at the end of a sentence or add a capitall letter to the first word in a sentence. What the students like the most is that they can write and not be graded. Knowing this they will work harder and write more. :)
