December Writing Prompts Journal
$6.00
Stop the “I don’t know what to write about!” struggle before it starts. This daily writing prompts resource provides a seamless solution for developing consistent writing habits, critical thinking skills, and creative expression for students in 4th – 12th Grade. Whether it’s a deep dive into facts and history or a light-hearted reflection, this month’s prompts ensure your students have a meaningful reason to put pen to paper every single day.
What’s Included?
This isn’t just a list of sentences; it is a complete journaling system. Each month is packed with:
- Individual Journal Pages: A unique, dedicated page for every day of the month.
- Diverse Prompt Styles: A balanced mix of “light and fun” topics and “deep-dive” prompts that challenge students to think critically about values, history, and social issues.
Here are two examples:
December 3rd – (International Day of Disabled Persons)
Some of the greatest success stories you will ever hear are about people who overcame difficulties to reach their goals. Many people with disabilities learn to overcome challenges others would never even attempt. Are you, or is someone you know, disabled? How can a disability make life more difficult? Is there any way that a disability can make life better? Write about a disabled person specifically, or about disability in general.
December 4th – (Mary Celeste was found)
On December 4th, 1872, a British ship came across another ship, the Mary Celeste, which was drifting in the Atlantic Ocean. The Mary Celeste was sailing from New York to Genoa, Italy. The captain, his wife, their daughter and the crew of eight were all missing from the ship. They were never found and nobody knows why they left the ship. The ship still had food, water and all its cargo. What do you think happened?
How to implement it:
- Daily Starts: Start your morning or English period with a 10-minute quiet writing session.
- Fast-Finisher Activity: Keep your “early birds” engaged with a meaningful task that doesn’t feel like “busy work.”
- Homeschool Portfolios: Use these daily entries to track progress in handwriting, grammar, and expressive thought throughout the year.
- Digital or Print: These pages are designed to be “print-and-go” ready, but they also work beautifully as digital assignments. Simply give them to your student(s) and allow them to create a word document for each. First, have them copy (type) the prompt. Then answer it! Print and place in a growing 3 ring-binder of work.
