Respond to a Quote: Prompt #8

Give your students a chance to think critically and practice their writing skills with this engaging writing prompt.

Learners are asked to explain what the quote means to them and provide an example from their own experience (or the world) that relates to the quote. This inspirational worksheet is a great way to invite middle school learners to reflect on the purpose of kindness and how they show kindness in their own lives.
