Give your students a chance to think deeply and hone their writing skills with this inspiring writing prompt. In this reflective writing exercise, students are asked to think about a quote by Native American author Sherman Alexie. Young writers will then 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 great way to invite students to reflect on the importance of individuality and belonging, whether it is used as part of a social emotional learning curriculum, to assess writing skills, or as an on-demand writing prompt!
