WHAT IF YOU JOURNAL DURING STORY REVIEW?
I appreciated all the thoughts on journalling. Our rotation format started in September 2003 and after seven complete lesson sets, we still struggle with incorporating this. Our 50 minute time period is rushed and it seems that the teachers are halfhearted in their support of the jounalling. We even provide the questions! ----SO I have considered handing out journals prior to the bible lesson to see if the kids would record questions they thought of or words they didn't understand during the class. My fear is that they 'doodle' and are distracted from the story. Any thoughts out there?
