B STOR Y FROM MY JOURNAL

Do you keep a JOURNAL? Keeping a JOURNAL is a great way to record
new and exciting things about your daily life. Ask yourself:

• What did you do today? • Where did you go?
• Who was there? • How did you feel?
• Was it a good day?

It is good to write all these ideas in your JOURNAL every day.

WARM UP Look at the topics below. Some are better for a JOURNAL than
others. Choose the topics that are right for a personal JOURNAL.

4 A day at school A history lesson
A book report My math homework
My first sports game A trip to the mall

SAMPLE

July 21st, 2010
Today was the first day of school. Since I just moved here, I was
the new kid in class. I was very nervous about meeting new people.
I never moved to a new school before. What if no one liked me?
Thankfully, the person sitting beside me said hello. We talked for a
few minutes. We actually had a lot in common. He introduced me to
his friends. They were very nice to me. I didn’t feel so afraid
anymore. I think I’ll talk to them again tomorrow.
