WHY: The research-based rationale in support of this Advanced Literacy strategy.

There are many regular routines teachers can implement to increase writing in the classroom. The most famous, is, of course, the writing process , which takes students from brainstorming to a published piece. But there are many other routines - journals, learning logs, etc - that teachers can use to get students writing regularly in class.

HOW: Resources, materials, and support to implement this Advanced Literacy strategy.

Journal Writing Every Day

One of the best things about daily journal writing is that it can take so many forms. Teachers can use journal writing to meet specific goals, or the purpose can be wide open. Some teachers check journal writing and work on polishing skills; others use journals as the one "uncorrected" form of writing that students produce. Some teachers provide prompts to help students begin their writing. Others leave decisions about the direction and flow of student journals up to the students.
