This spiral bound journal provides a location for your student to record 20 locations of their creative and intentional travel journey.
What is an intentional learning travel journal?!
The MasterPoint Intentional Learning Travel Journal serves to document the experiences of students while traveling. This can be a written description of activities, experiences, a place to secure ticket stubs or mementos, or even a spot to sketch something interesting. There is no right or wrong way to create this journal, except that it should be created as a space to return time and again to relive the journey!
“It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.”
Henry David Thoreau
This journal encourages students to experience a location with all five senses, to preserve memories, be present, sharpen observational skills, organize thoughts, enhance creativity and self-reflection, and encourage deeper gratitude and appreciation for experiences. It also prompts students to consider their experiences intentionally using the Five Common Topics of Definition, Comparison, Relationship, Circumstance, Authority/Testimony.
The Five Common Topics were created by Aristotle as an idea tool for teaching/experiencing any subject. This tool allows students to dig deeper into a travel experience. Intentionally using this tool to process and make sense of the travel will prove beneficial to any student in their search for the good, true, and beautiful!
Spend time contemplating the locations visited through the lens of the common topics to really dissect and understand what is experienced and why it matters. This will lead to a much richer travel experience!
We hope that this intentional travel journal is the start of some amazing experiences and memories! Keep it and add to it over the years, in time it will become a cherished keepsake.
