September Writing Prompts Journal

Description

What’s Included?

This isn’t just a list of sentences; it is a complete journaling system. Each month is packed with:

• Individual Journal Pages: A unique, dedicated page for every day of the month.
• Diverse Prompt Styles: A balanced mix of “light and fun” topics and “deep-dive” prompts that challenge students to think critically about values, history, and social issues.

Here are two examples:

September 12th – (Video Games Day)
Your name is Tonette Play. You create video games for a living and you have just though of a new video game that you want to produce. Describe your game and tell why/how our game is different than other games you’ve seen before. Why do you think others would want to buy your game?

September 17th – (U.S. Citizenship Day)
Today is a day for considering the privileges and responsibilities of all U.S. citizens. What do you consider to be the most important part of being a U.S. citizen? What privileges do you have that others living in other countries do not? How would your life be different if you lived in another country? What responsibilities do U.S. citizens have and do these responsibilities have anything to do with our privileges.

How to implement it:

• Daily Starts: Start your morning or English period with a 10-minute quiet writing session.
• Fast-Finisher Activity: Keep your “early birds” engaged with a meaningful task that doesn’t feel like “busy work.”
• Homeschool Portfolios: Use these daily entries to track progress in handwriting, grammar, and expressive thought throughout the year.
• Digital or Print: These pages are designed to be “print-and-go” ready, but they also work beautifully as digital assignments. Simply give them to your student(s) and allow them to create a word document for each. First, have them copy (type) the prompt. Then answer it! Print and place in a growing 3 ring-binder of work.
