About this worksheet
Writing a little every day builds fluency, and a journal entry is a short piece of writing about a real experience or idea in the writer's own voice. On this fifth grade sheet a child gets one prompt and writes a journal entry on the lines, using the questions in the prompt to say what happened and how it felt. Each version has a different prompt, and the grown-up reads it for ideas, not for spelling.
