Dear Educator,

Here's something I've learned after years of teaching middle school ELA: the week after spring break is one of the best writing opportunities of the year.

Every single student walks back into your classroom with a fresh story. A family road trip. A lazy week on the couch. A funny moment or an unexpected adventure they can't wait to share with you!

That's exactly why I created Spring Break Tales: A Personal Narrative Journal and Writing Resource. It's a complete, print-and-go unit that takes students from brainstorming all the way through a finished personal narrative.

Here's what's included:
✔ Brainstorming worksheets to help students identify their best (or worst!) spring break memory
✔ Writing prompts and outline templates to structure their story
✔ A step-by-step narrative writing process
✔ A rubric to evaluate finished work
✔ A digital Google Slides version for Google Classroom

Teachers have been using this one for years. Here's what a couple of them shared recently:

"Everything is laid out so nicely. I was able to leave this for a sub, because it can be done step by step and is self-explanatory." — Kathryn

"Great way to get my kiddos back into school mode after break!" — Stephanie

We return Tuesday, and I have a feeling my students will have plenty of stories to tell. I hope yours do too! Enjoy every last minute of your break.
