Originally, our ROAD Trip also started with journals. However, like most of us, halfway through the year we realized that journalling seemed to be a "show-stopping" time of the class. We have now comprised the last few minutes of each class with a reflection and discussion time. The students are gradually eased from a point of high activity into an intense discussion. Each rotation teacher has a perplexing introspective point of discussion to pose to the group each week. The questions are created to foster creative thinking and in some cases, creative problem solving. It's worked for us and seems to be a great solution and wrapup of the Sunday's activities.
