Tips for Teachers
Customize the pages as appropriate for your class. Just download our page, open through your Word application, enter your own questions, categories, or spacing-and print! Or, use the pages the way we designed them:

  • Print a cover for each student and a stack of journal pages. Journals can be stapled, bound, or kept in each students' pocket folder to pull out on "Journey North days."
  • Mark the map. This visual reminder of the migration progress is fun to color or label in ways that are developmentally appropriate for your class.
  • Headline is a chance for students to identify the main ideas from Web updates in their own creative ways.
  • Summary is a place to sum up the each report's highlights in a paragraph with supporting details.
  • Spotlight is a category for journal writers to focus on a bit of migration news of special interest to them, or a question they want to explore more.
  • Answer our Journal Questions. We've allowed space for students to answer any or all of the excellent Journal Questions that appear in each migration update and many lessons. (They can flip the page over for more space.)
  • Other Thematic Journals. The hummingbird migration study is rich with concrete examples of key science concepts (such as habitat, adaptations, ecosystems, seasons and cycles). See more tips on teaching themes and Journey North journals: Building Understanding Through Long-term Studies.
