Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Complete open sentence starters (e.g., 'I will spend time with ___,' 'I plan to read ___') with personal, relevant details about summer plans.
Illustrate a written response with a matching drawing (Version 1).

Teaching tips

Choose Version 1 (5 stems plus drawing) for students who benefit from illustrating their writing, and Version 2 (8 stems) for students ready for more independent sentence completion.
Use as an end-of-year reflection or a start-of-summer writing warm-up, since both versions are open-ended and require no prior lesson content.
Print the two student activity pages.

Skills covered

Sentence completion writing — students fill in personal responses to open stems like 'I want to learn how to ___.'
Illustrating personal writing — students draw a picture that matches their written summer plans (Version 1).

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

The file includes two differently-formatted 'My Summer Plans' pages — are they meant to be used together or as alternate versions?

They function as alternate versions rather than a single combined activity: one pairs five sentence stems with a drawing space, the other offers eight stems with a small coloring activity, so a teacher would choose one based on the writing level needed.
