Dear fellow teacher: Have you ever been writing a test but you just can't come up with that last essay question? Or have you used all of your writing prompts and need something new? Believe me, I've been there. That's why I'm so proud and happy to offer you some proven questions that can serve as essay questions or writing prompts. These are some of the best that I've used in my 30 years of teaching. The great thing about most of these is that they can be used at multiple levels, from middle school through graduate programs. They also can be applied to virtually any subject. English courses particularly can benefit from these questions but so too can other disciplines such as history, science, philosophy, psychology, ESL, sociology and more. Best of all I'm offering these free of charge. If you'd like, drop me a line after you've used one and let me know how well it went. No, thank you.
