How do list prompts help you write better?
Creating a list to describe something in different ways can help one to become stronger at writing because it gets the writer to think about different ways to say the same thing. It helps to build creative skills, gives one practice in writing descriptions of what is seen around them, and helps the writer to take on different perspectives.
Give it a try! Below is an example.
