I really had fun with the Unjournaling book. I love the idea behind it.

Unjournaling would be a great book to use in a classroom. There are so many fun, interesting prompts. I think this book could get kids excited about writing and hopefully make them want to write on a regular basis. Hopefully the prompts could help students who struggle with writing. Not every student is a creative writer and not every student wants to write about personal things. This book can help with that.

I picked some of the prompts and tried writing myself and had a blast. Some of them were a little more out there than others. (Those were the ones I liked the best!). I really liked prompts like number 7, “Write a paragraph that includes twenty words with double vowels.” I like brainteasers like that, even though I’m not very good at them! Almost all the prompts will allow students to express their own creativity. The responses to a prompt like number 71, “Update the story of Cinderella” would probably be entertaining to read.

I’m not sure I like the idea of an answer key at the back of the book. The prompts are so varied that if a student gets stuck on one, there’s probably another one in the book they would have an easier time with. If I use the book in my classroom, I would let the students write using the prompts they want to.
