Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, we have lived through an upheaval that has changed each of our lives and will become part of our global history. Journaling can help students reflect on and process the loss, uncertainty, and changes that they have experienced during these difficult times. Students can also use journaling to document, for their future selves or future historians, how their lives were impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. This resource is designed to help both teachers who are setting up student journals for the first time as well as those who have already established practices around journaling in their classrooms. This resource also contains journal prompts you can use with your students, which we compiled with the help of educators on Facing History’s English and Language Arts Advisory Board.

Read the following resources for guidance on how to encourage students to use their journals in creative ways: Tip 3: Write Alongside Your StudentsEducator and editor Rebecca Alber asks, “When we write with our students and share with them our uncertainties about word-choice, a topic, or organization, won't they be much more willing to do the same?”3 Writing along with your students also allows you to model the practice of using writing to reflect on and process one’s experiences and to make sense of the world around us. Read Alber's article Do You Write with Your Students? and then develop a plan for how you can share your writing with your students. Tip 4: Help Your Students Understand the Significance of Journaling During the Coronavirus PandemicAuthor George Saunders urged his Syracuse University students in a letter4 published in The New Yorker to document life during the coronavirus for future generations. He writes:
