Friday - June 20th

This class has really introduced me to a lot of great writing ideas. Next year, I definitely plan to begin class every day with journaling. I really liked the idea of presenting a theme and they can either use that theme or write about what is on their mind for that day. I am hoping that writing in journals will help with the students' writing.

I also hope to incorporate microthemes into class next year. I think that this would be an activity that the students would enjoy.

I like the way we think alike. I agree 100%.

I also liked the idea of giving the students a prompt or letting them choose to write about something of their own choosing. I think that it is good to give them a choice. I have high hopes for journaling this year!!!

I used journal writing in my class last year and have a couple of books of daily topic ideas. If you want them just let me know and I will dig them out of the cabinet.
