| Description: | The reasons for keeping a journal are many. It can aide in self-reflection, to clarify ideas, or simply serve as amusement. Whatever the reason, the act of putting pen to paper (or fingertips to keyboard, as the case may be) is empowering. Journal Writing encourages the young writer through a variety of activities such as free writing, response to literature, prompts, graphical activities that allow the student to express him or herself via creation of cartoons, logos, “tags” and signatures, and finally, production of one’s own book. |
