Vacca and Vacca on Journal-writing: 
 
Most journal activities require thinking but do not demand a finished product.  Students soon learn to write without the fear of making errors. (274)

[Academic journals] help students generate ideas, create a record of thoughts and feelings in response to what they are reading, and explore their own lives and concerns in relation to what they are reading and learning.  [They] create a context for learning in which students interact with information personally as they explore and clarify ideas, issues, and concepts under study.
