I don't know about you, but my students love weird things! For a heavy writing assignment, what is better than giving your students a fun and crazy choice template to write on? I made these templates at my own students' request, so naturally, I had to laugh often as I designed each one. Enjoy!

• 15 different templates
  • Each of the designs are pictured in the previews! No need to buy without seeing the entire product!
  • Animals, food, anime, princess, and Disney movie themes!
  • There is a front and back to each design.
