Much of what we know about history is through journals that thoughtful and observant people left behind. A journal is a written record of events, ideas, experiences, travels, and much more! Teachers often provide time during the week for students to write in journals. Sometimes topics are assigned and sometimes students choose topics and write freely. And sometimes students write at home—where topics in personal journals are always your choice! What a powerful tool to remember childhood adventures—and a way for future readers to remember you! This issue will help you get started by providing topic ideas, sentence starters, and practical tips. Learn how to construct a journal and practice on some silly stories as you develop your journaling skills. You may even grow up to be a “journal-ist” or have a career in writing. Write on and you’ll be right on!
In this issue students will:
- understand how journaling works
- practice writing silly stories
- locate similarities and differences by comparing pictures
- insert missing vowels using context clues
- identify parts of speech for a fun and funny fill-in
