White space

As an exercise in white space, I created a simple graphic to be a template for a Thought Journal. My children are young, so I continue keeping it simple. The idea here is to help them build meta-cognition skills for this learning experience. 

I think it will work because it is meant to be a simple template for recording information that is easy to understand, but also reminds them of what is important. I focused on some symmetry, so I balanced the white space (Lohr , 2008, p. 274) and trapped space (Lohr , 2008, p. 273) among the elements so it'd not be confusing, so I feel the graphic is effective.

My wife critiqued but had no suggestions this time.
