Bite-Size Writing Assignment: Season Journal

Now is the perfect time to gear your students up for writing about a season. Spring is just around the corner, why not document it with the written word? Get a spiral-bound notebook for each student. There are so many designs to choose from and even some with blank covers. Let your student(s) design a cover to represent spring.

On the first day of spring (Wednesday, March 20) have your student(s) go outside with the "spring" notebook and write a paragraph or two about what nature is doing on that day. Consider various writing assignments throughout the season. Some assignments could include:

• Write a poem about the birds
• Write a paragraph describing the sounds of nature in spring
• Keep a weekly documentation about the changes that occur throughout the season
• Write a limerick about trees, grass or water

Use your imagination and encourage your student(s) to do the same when brainstorming writing assignments. For an easy-to-use and easy-to-make nature journal, CLICK HERE.
