YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

USA 2013Daily Journal

Mr. Fisher

February 2013

This journal is a record of your trip to America. It will help you to remember every single detail. It will also be kept as a record of your achievements at Jeddah Prep and

Grammar School. There are spaces to record all your experiences and to stick in

photographs when we return to Jeddah. Every day you will be expected to record the following:

Where did you go today? What did you do? Describe what you did. What do you know today that you didn’t know yesterday? What can you do today that you couldn’t do yesterday? Who had the most impact on your day? Why? What was the most negative part of your day? How did you turn it into

a positive? What was the best part of your day. Why? If you could do today again, what would you do differently. Explain why?

Finally, be honest with your answers. This document will be yours to look back upon in years to come. Make the account accurate!

HOW TO USE YOUR JOURNAL

Enjoy……Mr Fisher & Mr Deus.
