Waking up earlier than normal to rain this morning has found me enjoying the new Something to Write About Interactive ebook by Bill Zimmerman. The official title is “Something to Write About Interactive E-Book of Writing Prompts for Students”. Before dashing off for our usual workday whether it is work, school, family commitments, volunteer hecticness at this time of year, retirement living, and/or travel I hope you’ll enjoy today’s post, not only are we covering this new book but also Celebrating the many books of his we have covered here over the past three years at AnchoredScraps.
Something to Write About Interactive ebook
This is one of his many free e-books at his Make Beliefs Comix® site.
“Author Bill Zimmerman created this book of writing prompts over the years teaching English language learners and literacy students. Its intent is to help students discover their writers’ voices and express the rich thoughts within them as they master the English language. Students are encouraged to write about their family, their friends, their old life and their new life, feelings, dreams and goals.
These writing prompts encourage students of all ages to write about the things in their lives that are meaningful to them–their childhood memories and family stories, the people they love and admire, their hopes for the future, their deepest beliefs. Zimmerman says, “I have always believed that everyone has a story to tell–if only someone would ask, if only someone would listen.’’ This book gives teachers a way to draw out students’ stories and help them communicate their thoughts through writing.”
