More Thoughts: A Freewriting Journal

By Janet Morey

More Thoughts builds on the success of My Thoughts by offering an expanded collection of 87 visually engaging freewriting prompts designed to help students write with greater freedom, confidence, and personal voice. Each page presents a brief, open-ended prompt paired with a colorful, evocative illustration that sparks imagination and lowers anxiety--inviting learners to write without fear of correction, grades, or perfection.

The prompts encourage thoughtful reflection, storytelling, and creativity. Students might explore childhood fears, imagine what a personal robot could do for them, or identify five things they hope to accomplish in life and reflect on their choices. The wide range of topics ensures that every student can find something meaningful to write about, regardless of age or language proficiency.

A distinctive feature of More Thoughts is the small space on each page where teachers can offer a brief, supportive comment. Simple notes like "Is this true?", "What a beautiful scene ", or "Very funny " build rapport, validate student ideas, and motivate writers to continue developing their voice--all while keeping the focus on expression rather than correction.

Ideal for journaling routines, warm-ups, creative writing sessions, literacy classes, and substitute-proof lessons, More Thoughts helps learners discover that they have much to say and the ability to say it.
