200+ Journal Prompt Collection for Warm-Ups & Discussion

Warmups · Grades 6–12 · PDF + slides · $9.99

Over 200 journal prompts I use for bell ringers and class discussion. They work in any secondary class, grades 6-12, and you won't run out for the whole year.

Pick a prompt, give students a few minutes to write, then use the included routine: read the entry, share and talk, highlight a line that stood out, then a teacher-led grammar review. The prompts are numbered, so it's easy to go in order or pick one that fits the day.
