Daily Journal

Give students the opportunity to express their feelings and creativity with a journal!

This activity has been revised and was originally created by Mary Jane Clark and published in the Perkins Activity and Resource Guide (1st edition, 1992).  The second edition is available for purchase.

This hands-on activity has students keep a daily log of activities, special events, emotions and thoughts. For students who are unable to braille, you can have them set up the log or diary using a digital recorder. Lessons include English Language Arts, Concepts, and Independent Living.

This can be expanded by having one student read a week’s account, then asking questions such as, “Who can tell me what Tom did on Tuesday?”
