Write a Paragraph: Monkeys are so Funny!

By C. Mahoney

This workbook has 63 writing prompts to help students write narrative and expository paragraphs on monkeys. Each page has a cute picture of a monkey, a monkey-word in English and Spanish (and its pronunciation), a space for writing a paragraph, and a prompt like: Do monkeys ever get lonely? Do monkeys fall in love? Why do monkeys spend so much time in trees? What might a banana say to a monkey? Do monkeys like the smell of flowers? Would a monkey make a good pet? Are monkeys ticklish? And lots of funny and weird questions to get your students thinking about monkeys (and themselves too). Each prompt opens the classroom to discussions that you might not feel comfortable otherwise (because it's just talking about monkeys). When your students read the prompt, "Do monkeys ever think about God?" you are free to allow students to think and talk without being for or against their ideas (in a world that is growing ever-increasingly less inclusive). When your students think about "What is the most popular monkey ever?" you will get to guide the discussion into the areas of leadership and responsibility, being popular versus being a world-changer.

This workbook is your way of helping your students engage in critical thinking (while talking about funny pictures of monkeys).
