Both of my children are being asked to maintain a summer journal. My rising 7th grader and rising 3rd grader are given the same writing prompts. My eldest child is given the option to share what is in his journal as he has reached the age where his private thoughts may be included in his journal entry. My youngest child loves to share her writing, so she reads her entry out loud to me. If at any time she feels she doesn't want to share what she writes, that's okay too. The point of the activity is to stimulate creative thought, improve writing skills, and to encourage the use of journals as an outlet for expression.
They're only required to write once a week but they are welcome to write as many different times a week as they prefer. Here are the first five writing prompts of the summer.
1. Describe what your family would be like if every member became a super hero.
2. If you had a time machine, what year would you travel to and why? What do you expect to find once you arrive?
3. What is your favorite memory from this past school year? What was your worst memory?
4. Name three things you want to accomplish this summer and why?
5. Describe your favorite video game and how you would improve it?
