Types of Journals

You may want to keep other types of journals as well.

■ Diary

A diary is a private personal journal. It contains not just a record of daily events but also your innermost thoughts and feelings about them. A diary often discusses personal relationships and concerns. (You probably wouldn’t share diary entries on a blog.)

■ Dialogue Journal

In a dialogue journal, two individuals (you and a friend, or parent, or teacher) create a written conversation. For example, you might have a lengthy text conversation, or you could both contribute to the same Google doc. A dialogue journal can help you get to know someone better, work through a problem, or share a common interest.
