Join us in our journalling projectAs you may have read in my previous posts, I am a great believer in journal writing to

help students improve in their writing. My class has just finished a 30-day writing journal

and we have started a new one. We are going to spend some time decorating our

journal cover. We will also use pictures from magazines and drawings to decorate the

pages. I hope to posts some of the students' journal here.

I have copied another 30 writing prompts for them and you can copy and paste it into

your journal.
