| Abstract | The personal journal has become a standard component of the writing curriculum, yet there is little research to support dramatic claims for its effectiveness. Journals, which differ from personal diaries or common notebooks, are associated with the "Neo-Platonist or Expressionist" approach to writing instruction, yet adherents of other approaches also advocate their use. Journals derive from the commonplace book (a repository of observations), which was common in Greek and Roman rhetorical education as well as during the Renaissance. Another predecessor of the journal is the private chronicle, also an ancient literary form. Although in many periods of history autobiographical writing was frowned upon, many authors nonetheless kept diaries, such as Samuel Pepys, James Boswell, and Fanny Burney. Still, the personal diary has rarely been used as an educational tool. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, textbooks began to recommend journals or notebooks as memory aids, scrapbooks, or simply as writing practice. The modern reliance on classroom use of journals derives from Gordon Rohmann's 1965 book "Pre-writing: The Stage of Discovery in the Writing Process," although his emphasis on sequential stages of composition has given way to more complex views of the writing process. The longstanding popularity of the journal may well derive from its flexibility and versatility in many types of classrooms. (SKC) |
