There are a variety of prompts that you can employ to begin a creative writing sample. Many teachers will write a favorite quote on the board and ask students to interpret the quote. Other teachers will ask students about song lyrics, or perhaps a favorite memory. Think about dreams you've had, letters you've always wanted to write, jobs you've always wished you've had, places you've been. Or
. pick up five random objects and try to use them in a story. The possibilities are endless! For a great list of writing prompts, check out http://www.creativewritingprompts.com/#.
