Respond to a Quote: Prompt #10

Give students another chance to think deeply and hone their writing skills with this relatable writing prompt. In this reflective writing exercise, students are asked to think about a quote by Maya Angelou. Students will explain what the quote means to them and provide an example from their own experience (or the world!) that relates to the quote. This writing worksheet is a wonderful way to invite students to reflect on the importance of being themselves and exploring their own potential, rather than fitting themselves into an existing mold. Use this writing prompt as part of a social emotional learning curriculum, to assess writing skills, or as an on-demand writing prompt! For more worksheets like this, check out the rest of the Respond to a Quote set.
