Journaling is important in all areas to help remember concepts, write rough drafts, as well as drawing and labeling science pictures. We write in journals every morning. They get to decide what to write about, some times I get entries about how they are feeling about something that's going on at home, here at school, or just things in general. This is something I have done for the last 20 years, but the last 2 years it has been a priceless tool. I have been able to address issues as they come up, either with parents, the student themselves, or whom ever it needs to be.
