Description

Give students meaningful opportunities to write in French without spending hours creating prompts, formatting worksheets, or searching for the right grammar focus.

Journal d’écriture, Volume I includes 61 French writing prompts designed for French 2 and above. Each prompt appears on its own full-page worksheet, making the collection easy to use as a yearlong journal, weekly writing routine, assessment resource, homework assignment, sub plan, or individual classroom handout.

The prompts range from thoughtful and personal to imaginative, humorous, and unexpected. Students are asked to reflect, explain, narrate, predict, and defend their ideas while practicing a variety of verb tenses and structures.
