Writable’s High 5 assignments are built to engage your students in daily writing with short, 5-minute writing prompts. Sometimes referred to as Icebreakers, Do Nows, Bell Ringers, Entrance, or Exit Tickets, High 5s are the easiest way to assign and grade in Writable.

Whether you create your own prompt or get a suggestion from AI – powered by Open AI's Chat GPT (new!) – High 5s help you create creative, engaging prompts in your classroom. Writable adds a skill-aligned "quick grade" rubric, which enables feedback and conferencing from a single screen in 'Guide & Grade'.
