On a recent Friday I had forgotten to put the journal assignment on the board as I usually do. One of my students asked me what the assignment was, so I replied, "Put your journal on the floor, trace your foot, and decorate it." They all looked strangely at me, so I repeated it. Then they went into action. The results were lovely.
FYI: Monday - What did you learn in church yesterday? What was the best part of your weekend?
Tuesday - Students' thoughts on something from history
Wednesday - Encyclopedia day
Thursday - Creative art journaling
Friday - Turn journals in to be graded
All journal entries completed = a 100%
