Journal Prompts for Daily Writing
ELA, Writing, Grade 1, 2, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
So you are trying to set up your Writing Station so it can stand alone for awhile before you have to change the prompts. Does that sound like you? It was definitely me! So... I solved this problem by giving children a choice of a few prompts to write about and then changed them every so often. These Daily Journal Writing Activities are an easy way to encourage writing everyday. There are so many choices and posters that can be hung in your station to support young writers. In my opinion, this resource is all you will need for journal writing! I am so excited to have updated and completed this Set of Journal Prompts to Encourage Writing. This set is best for first and second grade. These journal writing prompts contain a plethora of writing ideas! Although this set is an update, I have added many more pages and changed the format, but I have also kept the former resource in the packet and Compiled the 2 resources together just incase the older resource’s format was more appealing to you! Ever since I started teaching 30+ years ago and encouraged my first graders as well as my own children to write letters to grandparents, thank you notes to friends and love ones and grocery lists for me, I have believed that every scribble had an intense meaning and when I would encourage my students or children to “read” back what their scribbles, labels, words and sentences said, the kiddos knew the meaning of these symbols, scribbles and letters! I am a firm believer that “Kid Writing” is an important piece of emergent reading and writing and the more you read, the better you read and vice versa! What’s Included: ✎Over 200 writing prompts with starter ideas with room for a picture and writing. ✎Covers and prompts categorized into the following sections: ✎All about School….16 pages ✎All about ME ………37 pages ✎All about Feelings...14 pages ✎Special Days ………23 pages of prompts that span from Halloween to Father’s Day ✎Seasons and Weather…….22 pages ✎Other Fun Writing Ideas …….13 pages ✎Letters, Notes, Lists, Memos and a few more….30 pages National Holidays to Write about…54 pages taking writing through January to December ⭐Pages are NOT numbered so you can differentiate for your student needs. ⭐Covers are included for each of the sections above. ⭐ Please note the section about Notes, Letters, Memos etc. may present a higher level of difficulty for younger students. ✎ An anchor Chart On How to Spell a Word. ✎ 5 small posters with words to help young writers. I can… I like…When I Grow Up I want to be…My Favorite thing to do…My Favorite Color… ✎ 64 original writing prompts from the older resource with starter ideas with room for a picture and writing ✎ One complete page with writing lines to run off 2-sided with prompts. This way if students want to write more they can. ✎ Cards with writing ideas, pictures and words to assist young writers. These I put in a basket or “Treasure Chest” to choose ideas. ✎ Ideas to last a LONG Time that are aligned with Common Core!! Ideas for Use: ✐Morning Work ✐Stations/Centers ✐Writing Workshop for special learners ✐To differentiate your writing files and support more reluctant writers in other ways. ✐To easily encourage Journal Writing. ✐For homework ✐Homeschool ✐For parents to support their children with write

Historical Visual Writing Prompts | Photo Ideas | Writing Project
ELA, Writing, Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
This engaging literacy resource transforms enigmatic historical images into creative writing inspiration suited for diverse classroom applications targeting grades one through five. Twenty-six evocative grayscale photographs challenge students to weave imaginative narratives, captions, or analytical observations based on visual cues and instinct. Rather than contrived prompts disconnected from relevance, these striking archival scenes provide an springboard for open-ended interpretation and personal connections. Young writers assess mood, era, relationships and potential themes conveyed through candid moments frozen in time. Pictures span whimsical subjects like children playing hand games to a bustling old-timey Main Street. While some offer a slice of presumed background context, other images drop students into a decisive split-second lacking orientation to allow inference-drawing. Teachers guide critical thinking by asking students what’s happening in images and requesting evidence for claims from visual elements. This strengthens comprehension, evaluation and reasoning abilities beyond basic description. The collection includes four scaffolded writing templates per photo tailored to skill level. Emerging writers invent humorous photo captions or basic descriptive phrases. Advanced students draft multi-paragraph short stories or historical fiction accounts integrating setting, plot and societal issues reflected in scenes. This differentiated range accommodates wide spectrums of ability. Emphasizing lasting universal themes and timeless imagery, these evocative prompts nourish skills vital for academic and lifetime success. Analyzing visual narratives, questioning assumptions, synthesizing perspectives, and articulating subjective reactions in writing carry Utility far beyond language arts domains. This versatile kit sparks engagement through promoting creativity, critical thought and reflective writing around impactful historical photos.
