My Project

This daily writing journal will help students write opinion, informative, explanatory and narrative paragraphs—one step at a time!

Thus journal will give my students 36 weekly prompts, plus revising and editing checklists.

This journal has a different activity for students to complete each day—resulting in a polished paragraph they’ll publish and share.

Students need to spend more time writing and less time in front of an electronic device. Apps are a great way to differentiate instruction, but nothing can replace the act of writing and students need guidance in order to develop their skills.
