What would blue taste like if you could chew it? I'm thinking it would be cool and smooth. How about other colors? Unjournaling is actually a book of daily journal ideas that are not boring, introspective or personal. This makes it interesting to share kids' writing with a group. Here are some other sample topics. Write an original tongue twister. Rewrite Mary Had a Little Lamb so that Mary has a new animal and takes it somewhere other than school. Write a paragraph using only one-syllable words. Some kids can write at the drop of a hat about anything and everything. Others do better when given a starting point, like the ideas in this book. These topics are not diary material per se. It takes the anxiety out of journaling especially when kids know that a parent or teacher is going to read it. They may be much more colorful and uninhibited in expressing themselves. Includes 250 prompts that are suitable for a variety of ages. 129 pgs, pb. ~ Sara
Unjournaling, Second Edition
Description
Some students are just not comfortable with sharing intimate details about their thoughts, feelings, and lives— at least, not with others in a class or group. Unjournaling, Second Edition is brimming with playful writing prompts that are entirely impersonal, easing the way for hesitant writers while still offering creative challenges for those who are more experienced.
This edition updates existing prompts while introducing 50 brand new ones. It includes sample responses— a helpful tool for anyone who gets stuck with a topic and wants to see how it can be done! Two examples of the 250 writing prompts include:
- Somebody’s sitting behind you on the bus. You hear only one side of an odd cell phone conversation, but it is intriguing and alarms you. What do you hear?
- Igor could hardly wait to get his new special license plates for his car. He paid extra for these plates: BIM- BB1. Explain the meaning behind this very special license plate.
Suited for seventh grade to adulthood, Unjournaling is a flexible, varied, interesting, and, most of all, fun approach to creative writing.
These materials cover various types of creative writing, including descriptive writing, poetry, journaling, and stories.
