An activity that I've started in my classroom is journal reflections. My students write about what they want to accomplish, what they want to be when they grow up, what is going on in their lives, etc. It's a great way for them to open up and to be able to let everything out. High school, after all, is not ever the easiest. It's also a great way for me to be able to go through and check on their grammar, sentence structure, etc. A lot of them cannot afford journals, so we've had to do these on separate sheets of paper. I'd really like to be able to give each student a personal notebook so that they can keep their journal entries at the end of the year.
