In this grid you will find a variety ways to have fun writing this summer. We encourage you to be creative, thoughtful, and express your ideas. This writing grid can be used in many ways. You could do one activity per day (or more if you choose!) You could skip around, go in order, write in a journal, or use the computer. You could do them all or just a few. These writing pieces are for you to enjoy and have fun with!
Note for younger students: Ask your parents to act as a scribe and record your ideas. You can also express ideas using a combination of words and pictures.
