Opening the World through Journaling: Integrating Art, Science, and Language Arts

Abstract:

Opening the World through Journaling: Integrating Art, Science, and Language Arts teaches children to become keen observers of the natural world by drawing and writing about the plants and animals in situ. In a set of nested exercises, students use games to gain confidence in drawing and writing as a way to gather information. Later, they employ these skills to put together a field guide, make treasure maps, and to write short stories and poems.
