Grade 2 · Writing · Lesson 32

Keep a Simple Daily Journal

A journal is a private notebook where you write about your day — what happened, how you felt, and what you discovered. Unlike a story, a journal is real. Unlike a letter, it is just for you. Every entry is a little snapshot of your life!

What this lesson teaches

1Write a daily journal entry using the three-prompt frame — Today I..., I felt..., and I learned
2Begin each entry with a date heading
3Write in first person using "I"
4Use specific details and precise feeling words instead of vague words like "stuff" or "okay"
