Journal It

Keeping a journal is a way to record daily events and thoughts. Explain what it is and discuss topics that can be written about, such as making a new friend, an interesting activity just completed or how you felt on the first day of school. Try to come up with new ideas. Write about your favorite sports and classes or just about how you feel. Journaling can be a great way to express emotions and problems can seem easier once you’ve written them down instead of storing them in your head. This can be private; however, you can also share with each other.
