My students have wonderful, touching stories to tell and need an outlet for sharing their stories. In addition, due to the consequences of the pandemic, many students are experiencing extremely stressful situations and need somewhere to unburden themselves. Daily journal writing will provide the perfect outlet for these needs and help me to better understand how best to support my students. Through their daily journal entries, my students will have an opportunity to feel heard. It will give them a chance to write about what is on their mind. My students will experience being writers and expressing their feelings.
