A Grapple Journal is a tool for students to reflect on their ability to persevere through a challenging task. Students of all ages can benefit from the exercise of reflecting on their struggles, failures, and accomplishments. The Grapple Journal can be a weekly reflection for students, or an on-the-spot tool when they have just finished a challenging task. Elementary students can keep the journals in a designated area in the classroom. Middle school and older students can keep the journal in their own binders or in a designated three-ring binder.
