Student Journal Pages for Classroom
Student Journal Pages and Cover for Middle School & High School
Need a great way to get your teen students writing? Get them to write about themselves! These student journal pages can help bring out the writer in even the coolest kid in the class!
This set comes with two journal pages (in full and half page sizes) and two different variations of cover (in full and half page size).
One page has students writing about what they are thinking and the other page concentrates on their current activities and favorites.
Both the cover and the journal pages come in full and half page sizes so they can be used in a variety of ways.
Examples:
– Each size can be copied and stapled to make booklet.
– Students can be given copies of either size to cut and paste into whatever notebook/composition book you have required.
I personally like the copying and pasting because it actually gets the student invested timewise into the journal. This can mean more personal responsibility on it’s upkeep. It also allows for more creative writing/doodling in the margins. More creativity=better writing.
This journal would best be used once a week as the questions may become redundant if used daily.
**Please Note** The page that looks like several notebook pieces of paper stacked on each other is the ACTUAL journal page designed to look like that. The students write in the little spaces provided on each little “sheet of notebook paper” on that one page. Simply- The journal page looks like a stack of notebook pages. 🙂

Reading comprehension is an important skill in the classroom. It helps students understand and appreciate the things they read. This improves their reading experience!
In addition, reading comprehension develops a student’s storytelling potential by understanding the parts of a narrative. You can’t make a story if you don’t know what makes it!
