Research

There is no solid evidence that explains who the first teacher or

researcher was to use journaling in their classroom.

Content Journaling can be used across the curriculum.

Dialogue Journals: Dialogue journals are conversations in writing.Reading Response Journals: These journals are used to capture students' reactions to books and to track their reading.Math Journals: The goal of writing in mathematics is to provide students with opportunities to explain their thinking about mathematical ideas and then to re-examine their thoughts by reviewing their writing.Science Journals: Writing science journals could be a great way for the teacher to have a better understanding on how the students are thinking about the science lesson.Art Journals: The art journal gives students a place to plan, to gather resource and research materials, to do preliminary drawings and to experiment with media; in short, to explore and document their personal creative processes.

Application1. Decide what type of journal you

want to use in your classroom. Think about the purpose of the journal and how will you use it.

2. Prepare the materials. Your students' journals may be loose-leaf notebooks or folders. Individual pages should be contained in some way so that they are not lost over time.

3. You should model initial entries. Using an overhead projector, classroom chart or work together to write a sample response. Students can copy the class response in their own journal or write one of their own to keep an example.

4. Schedule time for regular journal use. Students are all engaged in the act of writing and this enables individuals to generate ideas, observations and emotions.

How do I start?

Application

Do’s• Only finished pieces should be

used for grading.• Comment on your students'

writing by offering suggestions, constructive remarks, questions, and encouragement whenever possible (sometimes students will respond to the teacher's comments).

• Change up the journal prompts to make sure they get a variety of topics to write about.

Don’ts• You should not grade or correct

the writing in journals.• Do not use the same prompt for

every journal entry, otherwise students will get bored and slip into the routine of writing without having a real reflection or real purpose.

The Do’s and Don’ts

Page 8: The Strategy of Journaling

ApplicationThe journal can be used as a reference file to help the teacher monitor

individual development and progress. Entries should not be evaluated as finished products. The evaluation of journals should emphasize the content.

While each journal is unique, good journals share the following characteristics:

• personal observations • questions • speculations and predictions • evidence of developing self-awareness • connections between personal experience

and new information
