They will help your students grow as reflective writers!
Bonus: This is really a sneaky creative thinking exercise that challenges students to use different writing forms and techniques. Teacher Win!
Here’s what students are saying about this resource:
★ I really enjoyed expressing myself in a way that was different. It was helpful to start each class period that way because it got my brain thinking at the start of the day.
★ The Writer’s Notebook challenged me, but I enjoyed doing it. It made me step out of my comfort zone, and I wrote about topics I never thought I would…like love or politics!
★ It doesn’t have to be perfect and it doesn’t have to be a topic that I am not interested in. I can write about whatever I want to write about.
