Journalling 101

These are some of my students' journal...To make it more special, wrap it with a colourful wrapper and decorate it. Make it your own.

If you cannot draw, then use pictures...browse through magazines and newspapers, cut any pictures that appeal to you...

Journalling Project begins today

Someone suggested that I should post the journalling prompt and discuss how to write the topic. So, we shall start with Journalling Prompt 1:

What are the things that you would change about your school?

you can comment on
- the rules and regulations
- the school environment
- the classroom facilities
- school hours
- sports
- extra class

So, get your pen and paper and start writing...
If you want me to comment or post your writing, just email them to me

Improve your English through journalling

I have just discovered a free online journal which you can join.
sign up at https://penzu.com/ It is a personal journal and you can choose to keep it a secret or email and share with everyone in your class or whatever group you create.
I think this is a cool way to make sure you write everyday. You can even post pictures.
The fastest way to improve your English is to use the language everyday. Keeping a journal is one way. If you don't know what to write, just google journal prompts and there are thousands to choose from.

Journals

Some of the journals from my class as promised....hope you get inspired too

As you can see, some of the journals starts with a word collage. If you find it too frightening to start with an empty page, decorate the page first....

Journal your year

To the new form five students, this is your year. You are either all fired up about this year or you are rather apprehensive. Some of you have made new year resolutions to improve your English. There are several types of journals that you can do to kickstart your progress.



1 Keep a newspaper journal.
Cut an article and just paste it into your newspaper journal. Look up three new words and their meanings. Do this project for thirty days. Look out for advertisements, short texts, cartoon strips and letters.

2 Keep a journal or diary
Begin to write in your journal once a day. Keep a special time for this.. I prefer to write before I go to sleep. I just jot down everything in my mind, my worries, my problems, ideas and things to do. Just keep on writing until you feel sleepy.

3 Keep a journal of the happenings in school or blog about school. This will help you express yourself.

Happy journalling. Let me know your progress.
