    Great journal prompts with some prompts I have not seen before. I used this resource once a week but included a Success Criteria of “What Good Writing Looks Like” (ie: Begin each sentence with a capital, Include a topic sentence). That may be a good addition to an already great resource.

  64. Angela K –

    I really enjoy these creative prompts to get my class thinking and writing.

  65. Lerner’s Learners  –

    I like this product because pictures and photos tend to get even the most reluctant writers to write. They’re also more engaged because I allow them to prompt they want to write about. I primarily used this for timed writings since I only have 45 minutes with my students; the few times I allowed students to work on writing over days didn’t work out as well, and they’re more focused on the task when they know it’s due by end of class. Further into the year, once they’re more resilient, I’ll assign them in Google classroom.

  66. Natalie C –

    I used this with my 7th graders! They enjoyed it!

  67. Angela M –

    My students loved using this resource and found it engaging!

  68. Kenna C –

    I always enjoy some writing prompts that will help the kids get started.

    I love these. They make for a great day of writing.

  70. Nikole G –

    Students loved this activity. Great resource for all!
