Journal Prompt Wheel
Journalling works best when the prompt is small and safe. These reflective questions open a few honest sentences rather than a whole essay — a calm way to start the day or wind it down. Spin one for the class, or let each student draw their own.

Journal Prompt Wheel questions
Should journal writing be graded?
Usually not — reflective journalling works because it's low-stakes and private. Keeping it unmarked encourages honesty.
Is this suitable for social-emotional learning?
Yes. The prompts are gentle and open, which makes them a good fit for check-ins and wellbeing routines. Read through and adapt for your class first.
