Overview
What Is Dissecting the Prompt?
The Dissecting the Prompt strategy is effective to use when introducing students to a new writing assignment. By having students annotate and discuss a writing prompt, this activity gives students the time they need to decode what the prompt is asking them to think and write about. You can also use this strategy to introduce an essential question for a lesson, unit, or course.
