Journal Format

Please read the following guidelines carefully and observe the required format:

1. Journals are to be hand written neatly
2. Journals pages should have your name, date, and a day of the experience
3. Journals are to be kept in one section of your notebook.
4. Journals will be checked regularly.
5. Journal entries should focus on what you are LEARNING rather than on what is happening. In other words don’t spend time explaining the stories, but rather focus on the experience. Think about topics such as thoughts and feelings, behavior, communication, motivation, and what you may have learned from the stories.
6. Journal entries should be a reasonable length.  {Reasonable means a paragraph or two at the least!} (Half a page).
7. At the end of the journal you are to write a reflection of the entire experience summarizing what you learned. This summary should be approximately 5 paragraphs in length.

Suggestions:

Begin with what you think and feel.

Add in what may have been the same as in Daniel’s Story  and/or other stories and experience you've had.

Finish with a reflection into your own life. What did you learn about yourself?
