About the Book

“The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.”

—Benjamin Disraeli

Using quotations is a great way to jump-start students’ writing! In A Quotation a Day, Education World(http://www.educationworld.com) provides 180 quotes—one for each school day—on forms that teachers can photocopy and distribute to students. The form asks students, “What does this quote mean to you?” Encouraging students to think and write about a quotation develops students’ abstract and critical thinking skills and generates class discussion as students share their thoughts.

A Quotation a Day provides

  • 180 quotations on 90 easy-to-photocopy pages
  • teacher tips for using A Quotation a Day
  • blank forms for teachers to fill in their favorite quotes
  • blank forms for students to write their favorite quotes
  • BioNotes, giving brief background on the person who said the quote
