This creative outdoor writing activity gets students using their senses to describe the setting around them using a mixture of descriptive writing and drawing as they create their very own nature journals.
Teaching Structure:
Explain to the students that over the next few days / weeks they are going to use their senses to make their own nature journal to describe the settings in different outdoor areas.
Go through the journal to check the students understand each section that they’re going to complete. There are three journal templates, one which is just for drawing, one for a little bit of writing and drawing, one for more advanced writers.
Take the students outside to a specific place (or let them choose their own spots) and get them to complete a page of their journal. Do this on several different days (the more varied the setting and weather the better).
Once they have several journal entries they can create their booklets using treasury tags or stapling them together.
Give students time to share journals with each other.
