January Writing Journal Set 2 | 24 Picture-Based Writing Activities

Give young writers a picture to draw, a clue to explain, or a story problem to solve. Each of the four themes includes a six-page sequence that moves from short sentences to stories and informational writing. Topics are January plans, winter wildlife, snow play, and winter sports.

- 24 core pages across four themes. Each theme includes fact and fiction sentences, a four-step directed drawing, picture inference, a sequencing narrative, a problem narrative, and an informational writing prompt.

- Two student journal covers.

- Six extension pages for drawing and writing, story planning, rereading, explaining a fact, and preparing a final version.
