The Things You Can Read: Writing Prompts

The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

BE.PROMPTED Monthly Journal Prompts

Source

One of my goals this year is to journal, but not just journal with words with art too. Art Journaling is something I wanted to do, but just didn't feel I had the skill set. So how did I begin working on correcting this not so little problem? Well, with Hope Wallace's help of course. Hope over at Besottment.com is a great teacher for those of you looking to be more creative with your journaling definately pop over to her site and look around.

I'm very excited because she is offering monthly journal prompts. Go take a peek. The monthly prompts are FREE, but if you are looking for more of what Hope has to offer I can highly recommend her E-Courses. Come journal with Hope over at Besottment.com. As always, let us know what you think. Are you a journaler? Do you start and stop journaling and need a kick-start? Tell us your journaling experiences here at The Things You Can Read.

Writing Prompts: The Writing Whisperer

We wanted to let our readership know about our other blog, which is more writing oriented. We use The Writing Whisperer with our students. The mission of The Writing Whisperer is as follows:

The Writing Whisperer is intended to inspire higher level thinking and discussions, which will culminate in a thoughtful written response. The Writing Whisperer is intended primarily as source of writing prompts, which often encompass a visual piece to aid in a more contemplative response. The Writing Whisperer is geared to be used in the classroom, however, it can also be used for writers seeking a prompt to get their "writing juices flowing". In addition, The Writing Whisperer, from time to time, will also feature writing related information and resources. Now, start writing!

Please feel free to send suggestions for prompts via The Writing Whisperer or The Things You Can Read...of course we will properly credit you, and of course, we will provide a link back to your blog for your contribution! For the writers and the readers in The Things You Can Read's audience please consider following The Writing Whisperer...Now, start scribbling!

Happy Scribbling!
