Continue the learning journey with the following extension activity:
In READY, SET, JOURNAL!, have your students work individually or in pairs to put what they learned to use. Have them choose one of the prompts in the article (or think of their own topic) and write a one- to two-page journal entry using the skills sheet. Encourage them to get creative by following some of the article’s other suggestions, like adding doodles or listening to music while they write. If they want, they can also add other creative touches, like stickers or stamps. Have your students complete the reflection at the end. If there is time, have your class share their thoughts about journaling in a whole-class discussion.
