Description
Give students something more interesting to write about than what they did last weekend.
French Writing Prompts Journal: Volume II includes 61 thought-provoking prompts designed to build writing confidence, reinforce grammar, and encourage students to express genuine ideas in French. The prompts range from accessible personal questions to imaginative scenarios, cultural observations, ethical dilemmas, and more challenging reflections.
Recommended for French 2 and above, the journal can be used throughout an entire school year or one page at a time whenever your lesson needs a meaningful writing opportunity.
Each prompt page includes:

- A clearly identified difficulty level: facile, moyen, or difficile
- The targeted grammatical tense or structure
- A brief grammar reminder in French
- Space for students to record useful vocabulary
- A registre tu version in the margin when the main prompt uses vous
- Name, class or period, and date fields for standalone use
The included bilingual index allows teachers to find prompts quickly by:
- Grammar
- Theme
- Difficulty level
- Prompt number and page
Grammar categories include:
Présent, passé composé, imparfait, futur, futur proche, conditionnel, subjonctif, and mixed-tense writing.
