My Writing Journeys is a "100-page writing-practice book that engages students through a wide variety of writing and art forms. Each activity has been designed to draw on the students’ personal experiences and connections."
This colourful book is a great way to start the day in the classroom and makes it easy for teachers to find engaging activities. My Writing Journeys supports Ontario curriculum and provides daily writing practice. Page features include graphic organizers, writing tips, art tips and adjective pages. There is no planning required and online resources will be made available in August 2012. It also provides students with a keepsake to take home at the end of the year.
