On Wednesdays we will talk about journaling…or telling the stories that are part of our memories.

  • Sometimes
your
journaling
doesn’t
fit
in
a
tidy
paragraph.
  • Sometimes
your
journaling
isn’t
complete
sentences.
  • Sometimes
your
journaling is just a few words or phrases.
  • It’s
time
for
a
list.

List sample LO

Remember, when using a list for your journaling, the format of the items is important.  In general you want the items in your list to be consistent. For example:

  • Spinning
  • Twirling
  • Swaying
  • Run←See?  It doesn’t belong.

Unless you are doing it on purpose for effect.  Here I wanted to emphasize the contrast:

  • Making pancakes for breakfast.
  • Racing to sign papers.
  • Searching for backpacks.
  • Watching for the bus.
  • Silence…at last.

sample list LO 2

Lists can be especially useful in stories where you find yourself saying, “and then we went here…and then we did this…and then…and then…” Leave out the “and then” and turn it into a list…MUCH more interesting to read.

The next time you are ready to journal…just make a list of the things that come to your mind as you reflect on the photos…then turn your journaling into a list.

    Well hes always King Caspian in this one. If your saying in his down time hes more like a Prince, I wouldnt agree. He wasnt very princely in Prince Caspian, except toward the end. A prince should act the same way as a king, but without the rank, and he was more like a boy in possession of the rank of Prince. Now hes like a king, honorable, a good leader, but still a real person. The Prince you see is really just Caspian being himself, not acting like he did in PC. I like his personal moments in VDT much more than in Prince Caspian, because he has matured more, and Barnes pulls off the acting so much better. Hopefully Im still making tangible sense! Im confusing myself!
