English Bell Ringers | Writing Warm Ups | Digital + Printable VOLUME 2

These English bell ringers/warm-ups are great for writing reviews and quick work! They are used to push students to think critically about their writing and develop their own writing style.  Most of these pieces can be completed in 5-10 minutes - giving you that sacred time to take attendance and a deep breath! :) I also use these throughout our digital learning/distance learning days as check-ins with my students. 

Students will work with a variety of texts and writing tasks.  Each day is broken into a specific topic to be sure that students are working with multiple genres. 

Monday: Informational Text - Students analyze an argument and justify their own opinion

Tuesday: Reflective writing

Wednesday: Word work with new vocabulary, diction, and syntax

Thursday: Working with mentor sentences from the first line of a novel

Friday: Wordplay - short, fun games with words such as riddles, crossword puzzles, etc. 

THIS IS THE 2ND VOLUME OF MY WRITING WARM-UPS! YOU CAN FIND THE 1ST VOLUME/ANOTHER 9 WEEKS HERE!

These warm-ups are a labor of love for me.  I have spent years concocting the “perfect” mixture of writing exercises to push students in their skills. I have been able to see my end-of-course exam grades rise after introducing students to this kind of analysis and thoughtful writing in short chunks of time.   

Many of these pieces do not have a concrete, correct answer.  Keep in mind that writing is highly subjective. I always enjoy hearing “fresh” ideas from my students!  I hope that you and your students will enjoy these warm-ups as much as my classes do. 

There are enough warm-ups for 9 weeks of instruction.
