The Literary Journal is the perfect tool for conferences, seminars, mini-classes, or lectures.  It is organized in such a way that you can go to a seminar or conference where you will be taking notes in many different classes and keep everything organized. 

By using the travel companion, you can take notes in all of the classes you attend during the day, sliding your notes into the inside pocket to be filed away according to topic in your literary journal later on.  If you have notes from other lectures or mini-classes on that subject already filed away in your literary journal, your new notes can easily be added to the old.  The Literary Journal provides a great way to keep everything on the same topics together, increasing knowledge and understanding of the subject  as you review old notes and ponder  the new.

If you are a person who goes to conferences and lectures,  you will appreciate the convenience, ease, and organization the Literary Journal provides.  It will become a must take item for you.

A Great Scholar Tool http://personalponderings.com/wordpress/2009/03/a-great-scholar-tool/ http://personalponderings.com/wordpress/2009/03/a-great-scholar-tool/#comments Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:39:08 +0000 admin http://personalponderings.com/wordpress/?p=231 My daughter Leilani is a junior in college and plans to graduate in Anthropology with a minor in English. She was struggling with a passage in one of her books and asked me if I would help her with it. Now her books are all pretty deep into philosophy so they are replete with large vocabulary words that I don’t see often and a few I have never seen. So in order to try to help her, I had to backtrack a bit – much to her dismay – and figure out what was going on in the 2 previous pages.
I found myself at quite the disadvantage because I didn’t know the meaning of some of the words, so I asked Leilani if she knew what they meant. No, was her answer. I looked at her in amazement, how can you begin to figure out what the passage means if you don’t know the meaning of all the words in the passage? Well, I can pretty much figure out what they mean just by the other words around them, was her reply. But when we put that to the test, she found out she was wrong. So I had a teaching opportunity there that I just couldn’t resist, even though it would probably fall on deaf ears because she was only interested in me telling her what the passage meant. She wasn’t interested in how she might figure that out for herself and then have a better chance of remembering it the next time.
However, being the Mom I am, I snatched the opportunity anyway and got out our huge Oxford Dictionary. We proceeded to look up all the horribly long words. I was happy to see that she was jotting down the meanings of the words. Then I ventured to suggest that because this was her major, and these words would probably pop up again and because she might not want to carry the Oxford Dictionary around with her (they aren’t found in any of the smaller dictionaries we own), if she would just write the words down in the vocabulary section of her Literary Journal, they would be so easy to refer to again, both for spelling when she used them herself and for quick reference the next time she came across them. I also went just a little further and suggested that her notes for her core Anthropology Classes might be useful to her in the future and she could also file them under topic in the same Journal.
The teaching moment was seized upon and made enough of an impact on an independent mind that she might consider giving it a try. Perhaps a scholar she will yet be!

Literary Journal http://personalponderings.com/wordpress/2009/03/literary-journal/ http://personalponderings.com/wordpress/2009/03/literary-journal/#comments Mon, 09 Mar 2009 02:18:19 +0000 admin http://personalponderings.com/wordpress/?p=11 literaryjournalFinally! A tool that provides a safe place for powerful and personal thoughts. The Literary Journal is a depository for personal philosophy that remembers for you the impressive things you read. As a reading, writing, pondering, and study tool, the Literary Journal allows you to alphabetically organize notes from books, lectures, etc. Create your own list of quotable quotes and organize them by topic.

Have you ever wanted to refer to or recall something you read once, but just can’t quite remember it correctly, or find which book it was in? The Literary Journal is an easy to use organizer that will solve that problem, and also become a best friend. Imagine having all the principles and insights from your favorite authors in one place: wisdom and understanding will deepen!

It is as known fact that when we write things down they become part of us. Using the Literary Journal will help internalize those things and improve your ability to think, read, and write. It is the ultimate scholar journal and study tool. Because the principles are readily reviewable, practical application is more realistic. Enjoy a sense of accomplishment, seek scholarship, become part of “The Great Conversation” by using the Literary Journal.
