Back to School Book Bag Templates: This is a generic writing template that does not have a topic selected. You can use these backpack shaped templates for any topic that you want for a Back to School creative writing assignment.
Many of my Back to School creative writing teaching resources have a topic selected for them, so I wanted to provide a writing template that can be used for any topic that you want your students to write about.
The topic that you choose will be a lot more interesting for your students when they get to write on their own book bag templates and color their book bags.
Your bulletin board display of your students' Back to School creative writing assignments will stand out and capture everyone's attention with this set of teaching resources that contains student backpacks as the theme.
There are 3 different versions of these book bag templates provided in this Back To School printable worksheets set for you to choose from.
Since I am also a teacher, I understand that teachers often need to change or adapt a resource that we find to meet our own needs. I have provided 3 different versions of these book bag templates in order to help you select the version that would best suit your own needs.
The first set of book bag templates has 2 writing areas for students. Below is an example of the first draft worksheet for the first set of Back To School teaching resources.
This assignment will not take your students very long to complete. The backpack templates are on one printable worksheet and they are easy to cut out.
These backpack templates measure 7 inches in width and 10 inches in height.
This quick creative writing assignment will provide you with student work samples that you can post on your bulletin board immediately during the first week of school.
You will be able to create a colorful bulletin board display of your students' work using the bulletin board banner and additional book bag accent pieces that are also included in this set of teaching resources.
Below is the first book bag template. This template has two writing areas for students. Students write their names on the ruler and the date is written on the book cover.
The second set of backpack templates has 1 writing area for students.
Below is an example of the printable worksheets for the second set of templates.
All three of the templates in this set of teaching resources are the same size and shape, the only difference between these sets is in the writing lines that are on the templates.
Below are examples of second book bag template. This template has one writing area for students.
The top part of the book bag has been left blank so that students can draw and color a picture in this area of their backpack.
You could also use this top empty section of the book bag to glue photographs of your students.
Below is an example of this template with a student photograph glued on it.
I have not colored the top section of these color templates because I wanted
to leave it blank so that students could use this area to draw their own pictures.
Below is the third book bag template that is included in this Back To School printable worksheets set. These blank templates could be used for a variety of different purposes.
I have left this template blank, so that you could use it for any idea that you can think of: student birthdays, labels for student desks or cubbies, labels for centers, etc.
If you want these book bags to be a smaller size, many computers give you an option to print a smaller version of a document before you select the print option.
To help you in decorating your bulletin board with a student book bag theme, I have included 6 back pack accent pieces in this teaching resources set.
These accent pieces are also grade specific and contain accent pieces for Grades 1 - 8. There are 8 separate sets of these book bag accent pieces for each grade level (Grade 1 - 8).
Although you will only use one set of these grade level resources this year, be sure to save the entire set of these accent pieces to use for the future. As teachers, we are often switching the grades that we teach and you can use this same writing idea with the other grade levels that you teach in the future.
