Three Possible Categories in On-Demand Writing
Situation: Each year, students who work hard on their KPREP test are rewarded with various special activities, such as an after school dance, a particular field trip, or homework passes. The celebration is planned by a special committee, which is made up of parents, teachers, and students. In order to get as much input from students about what they want the celebration to consist of, Mrs. Principal has asked all students to write a letter to the committee with suggestions. Only the best suggestions will be used. Task: Write a letter to the KPREP committee starting your opinion of which activity should be part of the celebration after the KPREP test. Remember that only the best ideas will be considered, so be sure to include why you think your idea would be the best.
You have 30 minutes to respond to the prompt.
Situation• The situation is labeled for you. • It’s always the first part of the
prompt.• It’s a make-believe situation that
hasn’t really happened to you. You have to pretend.
• It creates a need to write.

Writing situation:Leaders in your county are considering a law that would require all dog owners to keep their dogs on their property or on leashes while out in public. The county has received many complaints in the last month about dogs running across busy streets, into neighbors’ yards, and through elementary playgrounds. Some citizens have expressed fears for their safety. If this law is passed, anyone who breaks the law will have to pay a fine. County leaders are seeking public opinion as they consider this law.
Writing directions:Decide if you think this law is a good idea. Write an email to the county leaders giving your opinion about whether this law is necessary or not. Use specific details to support your opinion.

The ideas are consistently developed with depth and complexity using appropriate and effective examples, details, facts, and explanations, and arguments (Also, a kid’s dog might run into the streets. The kid might want to run in and go after it causing major damage. . . . Maybe if it is a high price and people break the law they would possibly not be ableto pay it off. Also if it is too low your law would be broken all of the time. . . . So, the amount should be the right price).
