Show-and-Tell: Journal Writing Every Day: Teachers Say It Really Works!
One of the best things about daily journal writing is that it can take so many forms. Teachers can use journal writing to meet specific goals, or the purpose can be wide open. Some teachers check journal writing and work on polishing skills; others use journals as the one "uncorrected" form of writing that students produce. Some teachers provide prompts to help students begin their writing. Others leave decisions about the direction and flow of student journals up to the students. This week, Education World talked with teachers who use daily journal writing in their classrooms. Included: Writing motivators that work from teachers who use them!

Introduction
I try to write in my journal every day. Some days I am more successful in this quest than others. While there are whole weeks that go by without my writing a story or even a letter, very rarely does that much time go by without my scribbling something in my journal. When speaking of someone who keeps a journal, I usually use the term journaler , although sometimes I use diarist . I think the word "journalist" should be reserved for the profession.
My history of journal writing
About 10 years ago I took up journal writing seriously. I went to Berlin for overseas study and decided to keep a diary of my experiences there. I have kept a journal ever since. I don't look back at what I've written, because much of it's painful or embarrassing or silly, but I'm glad I've written about those times. In fact, a while back I noticed I had a tendency not to write during times of great emotional pain for me, and I got annoyed because those are the times I need to write the most! Nowadays I make a special effort to write during these times. Part of the reason to keep a journal is so that you get those horrible, evil parts of yourself out of your system (where they're just going to fester anyhow)...and you don't end up burdening anyone else with them either. You can say it and be done with it.

JOURNAL WRITING
"Though a journal may be many things - a treasury, a storehouse, a jewelry box, a laboratory, a drafting board, a collector's cabinet, a snapshot album, a history, a travelogue..., a letter to oneself - it has some definable characteristics. It is a record, an entry-book, kept regularly, though not necessarily daily.... Some (entries) will be nearly illegible, written in the dark in the middle of the night.... Not only is it a record for oneself, but of oneself. Every memorable journal, any successful journal, is honest. Nothing sham, phony, false...." (Dorothy Lambert from Ken Macrorie's book, Writing to be Read A journal is a way to keep track of your thoughts about what you read for a course and what you read for recreation (you DO read for recreation, don't you?), as well as what you did on any given day. A journal has many functions, and if used well, it can increase your writing ability as well as give you a place to record information, keep ideas, jot down reminders to yourself, keep parts of newspaper or magazine articles you find interesting. Your journal can become a storage area, a file cabinet of sorts, in which you have placed all those thoughts and pieces of information that you may tend to forget or throw away because you do not have one place to keep them. A journal is not a "Dear Diary." A journal is not just a record of your daily existence. Instead, a journal gives you a chance to think about those daily activities. Maybe you have been having trouble understanding something in math and you're not sure what to do next, and you say so in your journal. After writing that idea down, you could go on to figure out (in writing) ways to understand the math problem - go ask your math professor for extra help, get one of your friends to explain it to you, or any other ideas that hit you. On the other hand, a diary would just record the fact that you didn't understand something, and that's it.

The Topic:
Journal Writing
Easier - You don't have to be a great writer, perfect speller, or creative thinker to keep a personal journal. Journal writing means that you regularly write down your thoughts and experiences. Harder - A journal is a continued series of writings made by a person in response to their life experiences and events. Diaries contain a description of daily events. A journal may include those descriptions, but it also contains reflections on what took place and expresses emotions and understandings about them. It doesn't matter what you call your writing, either a diary or journal, as long as you see the distinction between these two ways of writing.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC "The value of journal writing to a course with adult students cannot be overemphasized." (Sommer 1989, p. 115) Journals and diaries have a long history as a means of self-expression. Several themes prevalent in adult learningcoming to voice, developing the capacity for critical reflection, and making meaningare reflected in the way journals can be used in adult education. Journals are useful learning tools in a variety of adult education settings. Dialog journals, for example, have become popular in adult literacy and English as a second language classrooms. This digest focuses on several types of journals, exploring their value in assisting adults through their learning journey and summarizing advice from the literature on effective ways to use journals.
TYPES OF JOURNALS
Distance learners lack the physical presence of co-learners for dialog and collaboration. At Empire State College (Oaks 1995), a structured learning journal replicates for distance learners many of the functions of a collaborative writing group. The learners are given specific questions that stimulate their journal entries and reinforce their movement through the writing process. In a sense, the journal substitutes self-dialog for communal discourse.

Effective Use of Student Journal Writing. ERIC Digest.
THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The concept of a "communications triangle" of reading, writing, and discussing implies the need for a methodology whereby the teacher could stimulate the natural interaction of language uses in students to further linguistic development. Specifically, it implies the need for a method with which the teacher could connect reading and writing assignments to teach "the art of communicating" (Simpson, 1986).
COORDINATION OF JOURNAL USES
Although there are several particular purposes and, therefore, uses for journal writing, these uses could be incorporated in one compact student notebook (Jones, 1990). An English-class notebook, for example, could be modeled after a book; it could be divided into a preface, a body of chapters, and a glossary. A "dialogue journal," whose primary purpose is to foster communicativeness in students, could serve as the preface. A "literary journal," whose primary purpose is to foster thoughtfulness in students, could serve as the body-of-chapters. A "content area journal," or subject journal, whose primary purpose is to help students identify and clarify troublesome terms and concepts, could serve as the glossary.

I teach first grade and do journal writing. I do not use them
everydayI tried that format for the first year and felt
bogged down.
1. define your goalwhy do you want to do journal writing.
(I decided that journals were very beneficial in documenting
children’s writing/spelling/growth/. While we would write everyday, I wanted to be able to send most of the writings home. I had a sheet called daily writingused this just like you would a journal, but the writing went home. 1-2 times a week we do our writing in a journal. I found that this was sufficient to demonstrate children's skills. I use the journals at parent teacher conferences/M-teams etc. I, also, have the students look back and see how their writing has changed. 2. topicssince we write everyday, I pull topics from the various things we are studying. I try very hard to cover all academic areas. Early in the year, we do a lot of pattern

20. Journal Writing
One is their journal writing. I noticed that the students seem to write more fluently, when given this, and they actually enjoyed writing in their journals.
http://www.tooter4kids.com/journal_writing.htm
    January 27, 2004 Visit: Stuck? When my students enter the classroom they have two writing tasks to complete One is their journal writing. I believe it sets the tone of the morning and gets them focused on language arts. The routine is daily and they understand that they must write. I began with just ten minutes, but they decided they needed more time. Most students now write for approximately 20 minutes. I did try the new standard of allowing students to write on any topic they wanted to. Confusion about what to write took place, even though in their journals they had ideas written down, posters on the wall about what to write about, and the teacher telling them that they can write about anything they chose. (Ex. What happened last evening or over the weekend.) That took up so much time and thinking. Most children didn't get a chance to complete anything. The whole process took too long. So, I decided to go back to where my teaching of 33 years, told me to. I began giving my students daily topics to write about. I noticed that the students seem to write more fluently, when given this, and they actually enjoyed writing in their journals. (This also helps when they are given the Fourth Grade Writing Test.) They don't need any "think" time, so the writing flowed and became easier. Since kids enjoyed the writing, the next normal progression was sharing what they wrote. This has produced a safe environment for even the shyest child. Since they feel free to write, knowing that they will not be judged by their peers, everyone was eager to share. (We even clapped for students when: we enjoyed what they wrote, or a child who had improved, or a student who just tried his/her personal best.) Oral language was developed, and a style of speaking in front of a group.
