Unjournaling

 Some kids would rather watch paint dry than think of ideas to write about (much less write something about that idea), but these 200 writing topics are sure to change their minds. Prompts such as “Write a paragraph about a girl named Dot, but use no letters with dots (i, j)” or “Write a sentence with every single word beginning with a or t” are sure to engage and challenge any kid. Sample answers for each prompt offer pointers for those who get stuck.
