5 Research Report Prompt Stimulus Sheets
A set of 5 writing prompt stimulus sheets with a research focus.
Use these writing prompt stimulus sheets with your students when practicing research report writing. Each sheet provides your students with a general topic, points to think about, how to plan their research piece, steps for the research process, and things to check when they have finished.
Print out the stimulus sheets on cardstock and use them as a writing center activity or display them on your interactive whiteboard for a whole-class writing piece.
Use the drop-down menu to choose between the full color or low color PDF version or the full color Google slide version.
