Definition: A reminder or cue.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me,
Let’s talk about “prompt,” for clarity we see!
The dictionary tells us, quite plain and true,
It’s a "reminder or cue," just for you.
Think of it like this: a little nudge, you know,
To help you start, to help your ideas flow.
A prompt is something that sparks your thought,
Like a question asked, or a lesson taught!
It might be a word, a phrase, a scene,
Anything to get your writing keen!
For example, if I say “Describe a sunny day,”
That’s a prompt – it lights up your way!
Do you understand now, clear as can be?
A prompt is just a little help for thee!
Now, who can give me an example of a prompt they might see in a creative writing assignment? Let's hear those ideas!
