Daily Writing Prompts Booklet 3 - Simple outlines for elementary English learners

This PDF document contains 5 short writing templates for beginner English students learning to write their own short compositions. I made these for my 3rd grade EFL students, who are able to read simple storybooks and can spell 1st and 2nd grade sight words, but struggle with writing in complete sentences, and are complete beginners to writing passages. I briefly explain the writing topic for the day, which we discuss orally, then I write any difficult to spell vocabulary words up on the board according to what we discuss orally. I can then allow the students to get on with writing their passage themselves.

This is the third booklet we have used, with more to come. The topics get progressively more difficult, allowing students to practice different vocabulary and sentence structures, with more and more freedom to compose what they want to express independently. You can download the first booklet for free here!

Topics in Booklet 3 are:

• My Birthday (Months of the year, and expressing “I would like…”)
• Superhero (Superpowers, can/can’t, what one looks like)
• My Favourite Books (Book genres, author, summarizing a plot)
• Playtime (Favourite toys and games)
• In the Morning (Ordinal words, “first, then, after,” etc.)

I am making more of these to use with my class at the moment, so if you enjoy the product, please leave a review and let me know which topics you’d like to cover in the next upload!

Document is 3 A4 pages, which can be cut in half to make a 5 page A5 booklet with a cover page.
