Introduction
for Journals
Why journals? Journals are a fantastic way for students to share their progress, gather ideas, and reflect on their experiences.
A multimedia journal lets students go beyond adding text to the page to include:
+ photographs
+ images
+ video
+ links
+ narration
+ and more!
Journals might have a structure, but can still provide lots of space for students to be creative and decide on how to capture their thinking.

Back-to-School Journals
A great way to start off the school year is with a back-to-school journal! Students can chronicle their first few weeks starting a new school year and share a bit about themselves.
This lets their teacher learn about them at the start of the term, and provides an opportunity for students to share their interests, excitement, or hesitations at the beginning of the school year.

Prompts you might use:
+ What is your favorite thing about school?
+ What topic do you hope to learn about this year?
+ How can I help you be your best?
