August Writing Prompts and Writing Journal for 3rd Grade - 4th Grade - 5th Grade

Are you looking to start the back to school season with daily writing practice? This August writing journal uses writing prompts from the National Days calendar.

Students are prompted to write:

• opinion responses
• short narratives
• recipes
• persuasive paragraphs
• and more!

They write about their ideal lazy day, argue whether a dog is really man's best friend, create a recipe for healthful trail mix, and much more. The writing prompts are sometimes entertaining, sometimes informative, and always short and to the point.

Uses:

• as a bell ringer to begin the day
• for fast finishers
• as an exit ticket
• during writing centers
• as homework

Two options in one download:

1. Print as a Writing Journal and staple into a packet.
2. Use the printer-friendly Writing Prompts. Students cut the daily prompt and paste into their spiral notebook.

Use weekend pages for:

• homework
• simple writing assignment when you have a substitute
• an alternative to silent reading when an assignment is completed

Formats included:

• Printable
• Google Slides
• Easel

Be sure to click the Preview to see full-page examples of the journal pages! The Google Slides look identical to the printable pages, but with color included.
