Keep a Robin Migration Journal Click and Print for Ready-made Journals Journal Cover Update Support Page Teacher page >> Sightings Comments Teacher page >> Basic Journal Page Introduction How can you help students collect and reflect on their experiences with robins? Invite them to create personal journals. Build understanding and skills one page at a time. Journey North journal pages (see teacher support links, above) provide a workplace where students put wondrous questions, document discoveries, explore ever-changing events, and chronicle each step of their scientific journey. Teaching Suggestions Use these journal pages the way we designed them, or customize to meet the needs of your students. Just click to download, open through your Word application, and print! Or edit to enter your own questions, categories, or layout. Students can keep their own migration journal by following our Robin Migration News Updates, and/or drawing from original comments on the migration maps and/or sightings database. 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." Explore the growing collection of pages to select the page that meets your curricular goals. Each page is designed to help students collect and reflect on information and data they find in Migration News Updates, Observation Reports, Migration Maps, Booklets/slideshows, and other Journey North Lessons and Resources. Mark the map. This visual reminder of the migration route is fun to color or label in ways that are developmentally appropriate for your class. Thematic Journals: The robin migration study is rich with concrete examples of key science concepts (such as habitat, adaptations, ecosystems, seasons and cycles).
