The idea is to keep them in a basket as an option for the Daily 5 Work on Writing section. Section? Portion? Option? Time slot? What the heck are they called?
Anyway, the students read the prompt on the cover and write in the journal. It's left for others to read as well.
Anyway, so you start with composition notebooks. I got these colorful ones at Wal-Mart last week for 50¢ a piece.
So I found some writing prompts on TLI (our module test creator). I chose both 3rd and 4th grade prompts. In case I end up back in 4th grade. I typed them up all pretty and added clip art (I used http://www.pppst.com/clipart.html). I printed and cut them:
Next I Mod-Podged them to the cover. After about half an hour I applied a top coat. I continued to add a coat every 15 minutes or so. I feel like they need to be extra durable.
When it was all said and done, I have five journals to add to my "Work on Writing" basket!
You can purchase my prompt cards on my TeachersPayTeachers Store here.
Have a creative day!
