Our best writing successes have come with this book, which has a ton of writing prompts that are not personal:

I'll look at the book. What was particularly frustrating was 7th grade "health" which was the first trimester of science. School thankfully moved DS's science teacher after a miserable 1st week with a teacher who was requiring 3 written affirmations each day. I was pulling my hair out & it was only the first week of school. DS certainly has NO interest in sharing with this teacher he barely knew. And has never been very good at just "bullsh*ting" anything which is what many of the other kids would do. (Junior High science was a total waste of time IMO.)
