Each title-specific unit is filled with dozens of writing prompts that will encourage your students to express themselves, reflect on what they’ve read, and support their ideas with textual evidence. You’ll also find a cumulative test focused on reading comprehension.

Why are Response Journals so great?

  • The writing prompts require your students to give more than just opinions—they have to support their ideas with evidence from the text.
  • Your students will practice many kinds of writing: personal reflection, poetry, dramatic writing, essays, and much more.
  • They’re packed with dozens of writing prompts and a cumulative multiple-choice test to boot.

Response Journals are also included in our Complete Teacher’s Kits.

“The teaching guides, including Response Journals, are more important in my class than the textbook because these items help me teach my students to think on a deeper level and begin to analyze character motivations, as well as to think, ‘What if?’ or ‘What would happen if…?’”
