Summer Writing Prompts Journal: Writing Challenge Activities for 1st & 2nd Grade

Are you worried about your 1st and 2nd-grade students falling behind in writing during the summer? This summer writing challenge is your answer!

This 30-Day Summer Writing Challenge for 1st and 2nd grade contains a variety of engaging writing material for your students. There are 30 different writing activities (2 sheets per activity, created to be copied back-to-back and bound into a writing journal, if you choose). For a total of 60 writing pages, you will see the following activities:

2 opinion essays
1 explanatory essay
1 informative essay
2 descriptive writing activities
2 narrative writing activities
1 "how-to" essay
5 journal prompts
5 story starters
2 recipes activities
3 newspaper articles
1 packing list activity
2 book reports
1 biography
1 restaurant review
1 autobiography

These writing activities are purposeful, but fun. Students will find that completing all of them is challenging, but rewarding. Some teachers choose to stretch the challenge to 60 days so that students have 2 days to complete each activity. I also reward my students with a pizza lunch party if they complete the writing challenge (for the summer challenge, I plan the pizza party during the first or second week back to school).

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

Writing a Play - Graphic Organizer, Example, and Template

By Sign with me TOD

Writing a play is a perfect project that gives students time to write about an event that happened in their life or an event that they made up. Once they are finished, they can share it with different groups of people and have their friends play each character. This packet includes information to share with your students about what a play is, what steps to follow when writing the beginning, middle and end of a play, why we write a play, who we write a play for, and tips to look for when rereading and editing. This packet also includes an example showing the process that is used to write with a play using a graphic organizer and an example of a play. On the last several pages, two templates are included to help students write the rough draft and final draft of their play that includes space for characters, props, act, scenes, and lines to show what their characters are saying.
