Writing Homework


Please help your 4th grader find out about a journey someone in your family took. This can be your immediate family and/or beyond. The following questions can help guide the investigation and then the journal entry. Y

our child needs to write a 2-3 paragraph journal entry about this journey.

This is the gathering ideas - first draft assignment, so it okay if there are errors at this time. Again, since it is a first draft, complete sentences, etc. won’t be graded on yet. The assignment is due back to school by Thursday the 15th. We will then begin turning the entry into a polished journal page.

Thank you!

Questions to Guide You:

1. Who is the person you are writing about?

2. What journey did this person take?

3. How did he/she travel?

4. What did he/she bring on the trip?

5. What did this person like best about the place he/she went to?

6. What did this person miss most about home?
