Zoology 2 Junior Notebooking Journal
A companion to Exploring Creation with Zoology 2, this junior journal is much like the regular Zoology 2 Notebooking Journal but is designed for younger students or those with limited writing skills. All the lines in the junior journal are primary writing lines (a dashed line between two solid lines), and there are far fewer than in the regular journal. Every child writes at a different age, so age is not the best factor in purchasing a regular notebooking journal or the junior journal. The best determining factor is whether or not the child feels comfortable writing paragraphs. If not, the junior journal is a great tool to help the child begin incorporating writing into his learning.
This junior journal is perfect for:
- Younger students that have not yet mastered handwriting
- Older students that are delayed in handwriting mastery
- Older students with learning disabilities
- Students that are new to written narration
Each lesson in the junior journal begins with two pages for the student to color while he listens to the reading of the text. These pages are followed by a template page designed to encourage creative expression where the student illustrates what he has learned and writes a sentence or two about the topic. Vocabulary retention activities are next, and Scripture copywork (shorter than in the original notebooking journal and larger font).
Included in the junior journal:
- Templates to complete all the notebooking assignments
- Project record keeping
- Scientific Speculation Sheets
- Beautiful, full-colored miniature books found in the original notebooking journals
Some higher-level activities are missing from the junior journal. Still, they are replaced with cut-and-paste activities that bring the subject to life.
What's missing?
- The lengthy and technical Vocabulary Crosswords
- The What Do You Remember? written review questions
- The Final Review
