As a the teacher of a high school ecology, I use nature journaling as a teaching technique as well as an assessment tool. Over the years, I have found that most high school students don't have a very clear concept of journaling. At best they see it as a diary of events and at the worst they see it as drudgery - especially for those with poor writing skills. To help them, I'm going to be creating and using this page as a way to consolidate the materials I have found and/or use in journaling activities.

1. An on-line journal that I am keeping this (Fall 2003) semester
2. The rubrics I am using to grade the students' journals
