In this one-time class, learners will learn about and practice journaling with the opportunity to connect and discuss with peers. Journaling is an expressive and reflective skill which can also be used as a form of self-care.

Class Experience

In this Journal and Connect course students will learn about the creative outlet of keeping a personal journal. An introduction of how and why people journal or keep a diary, as well as the value it can be as a tool for self-reflection and self-care. Students will be given a writing prompt and 5 minutes to write a brief journal entry based on the provided prompt. If comfortable, students are encouraged to share something that they enjoyed, disliked or were surprised about their thought...

This class is taught in English.

I have a Bachelor degree in Social Work and experience in the field with children and youth to support reflection and critical thinking.

Students should have paper and a writing utensil (pen/pencil). 
Students may wish to have a designated notebook to use for ongoing journal writing, but this is not required for the course.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Though writing prompts are age appropriate, they are meant for reflection which could spark additional thoughts and questions outside the class discussion. Students may wish to further discuss their thoughts with a trusted adult.
