Remembrance Day / Thanksgiving Daily Journal Writing (November)

Item description

This is a differentiated daily journal writing package, designed especially for early learners and special education students in the self-contained or regular classroom. It contains 20 Remembrance (Veterans’) Day / Thanksgiving / fall writing prompts–enough for the entire month of November– each at 5 different levels, covering a variety of writing styles and genres. Use these pages for daily journal writing, literacy centres, early learners, and students with autism or other developmental delays.

Every writing prompt comes in 5 different levels:

Level 1 for non-writers (students simply colour/mark their writing choices)

Level 2 for emergent writers (students trace their writing choices)

Level 3 for emergent writers (students copy their writing choices)

Level 4 for beginning writers (students compose writing choices using the provided prompts, sentence starters, and word banks, as well as classroom resources)

Level 5 for independent writers (stationary for students to write independently using classroom resources)

*please see the preview for examples of each level*

Cover page also included.

Canadian & US versions are included in this product. Although most of my monthly journal packages contain identical topics in both versions, this month’s journal contains slightly different topics due to differences in holidays. The American version includes Thanksgiving themes, while the Canadian version focuses on more general fall topics.
