Suggested guideline for writing Kidlink Day journals:

Preparing for the "Kidlink Day"

(For teachers) If students are not with the same teacher all day long be sure to prepare other teachers that your students will be writing a few notes in their journals on the hour during the school day of March 9, 2004 (or the assigned day).

For students:

Things to include before you write the first entry of your journal:

1. Your first name and your age

2. Your city or town and your country

3. The weather for March 9, 2004 (or the assigned day) where you live

To make your journal interesting to read and filled with data for comparisons once the journals have been posted, be sure to follow these suggestions:

1. Tell how you go to school – car, school bus, walk, bicycle, etc.

2. Describe your feelings when you tell us about your classes. Do you enjoy your classes? Are you having a good day?

3. When you tell us you are having a meal, tell us what the food is.

4. If you are reading a book, tell us the title.

5. If you are watching TV, tell us the name of the show.

6. If you go to a movie, tell us the name of the movie.

7. Use more than one sentence to describe what you are doing at a particular time. Make your journal interesting by including descriptive phrases and your feelings.
