We, too, tried journaling this year. While I really agree with the rationale for journaling, I met with a lot of resistance from teachers. They said it felt too much like school and that the kids don't like it, and they seldom had the time to do it. I'm not giving up yet, but think we need to revise our plan. I like your ideas of more attractive writing tools, stickers, memory verses etc. Those things could serve as a beginning point for those who are not writers.
