Life Book Journals




   Life Book Journals

Life books are books that show who you are as a person and a writer. The only requirement in a life book is that you have writing in it!
Here are some things that you can include in your life books:

  Research or articles that are interesting to you
  Graphic organizers or rubrics that I give you for writing pieces
  Meaningful quotations and your interpretations (thoughts) of them
  Letters to anyone you want
  Writings of any genre
  Drawings (and what they mean to you)
  Pictures from magazines or photographs (with explanations)
  Poems
  Memories
  Emotions, thoughts, feelings
  Observations
  Lists of any kind
  Questions, things you wonder about
  Personal and private thoughts- fold page over and tape if you don’t want me to look at it.

This is all about expressing yourself in a meaningful way!  Have fun with this.
