I noticed that my students were getting bored with the morning work I originally had for them. Also, I wanted my students to practice freewriting because I noticed that they struggled to come up with their own ideas on the spot. When I saw this resource, I was so excited to start using it with my students, and my students were just as excited when I introduced the first daily prompt as their morning work. Now, they are eager to start on their morning work and get their creative juices flowing.
