Writing and Self-Discovery: Journals Encourage Fluency in Both.
Jones, Leona L.
Schools in the Middle, v5 n1 p13-15 Sep 1995
Examines the role of journal-keeping in the middle-school language curriculum. Suggests that continued writing leads to fluency in writing and reading, but students must be allowed space to practice this process. Using journals and associated activities provide students the space they need so they can actually begin to enjoy the writing process. Personal experience provides the stimulus. (AA)
