Overall Adventures | Journaling Ideas: Current Events @OverallAdventures | Uploaded January 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Use your journal as a personal account of LIVING HISTORY! Incorporate current events into your journal along with how you FEEL about what is going on in the world!

R E S O U R C E S :
I found these great tips on CURRENT EVENTS JOURNALING from a History teacher's worksheet. I can't find his/her website to offer proper credit :( I paraphrased the ideas to make them a bit more relevant to us!

1. Ask yourself, why is this news? Why is the item you chose to include important enough to be in your journal?

2. Always remember that good citizenship in the American republic involves the responsibility to be an informed and rational participant in civic affairs and that thinking critically about public issues, candidates for public office, and governmental decisions is essential in maintaining a free society.

3. Remember The Five W's. The who, where, when, what, and why. How can you incorporate these elements into your journal entry?

4. Identify the problem suggested by your article/news source and suggest alternative solutions, relate how to implement a preferred alternative solution, evaluate what you think will be the outcome of the topic at hand, or express opposing arguments.
