Once a week my students enjoy Encyclopedia Day for their journal entries. They pick something they find in an encyclopedia, sketch, and color it in about three minutes. Usually, they choose something from history or science, and they are required to write a sentence which includes a fact about whatever they draw. They learn and get to be creative at the same time. That's a good thing.
And this student creatively combined Encyclopedia Day with an idea from a Creative Art Journaling Day and tore the edge of the paper to make her journal entry.
