3. JOURNAL/LEARNING LOGS (Writing)
Description: Learning Logs and Journals are student-centered on-going written collections.
Application: Use these tools as a way for students to summarize what they have learned, to communicate with peers or teacher, to generate questions for deeper understanding, and/or to explain problem-solving processes in writing.
Process: Require students to bring “journal” every day. Demonstrate the journal’s importance by requiring students to interact with it at least once a class. Establish parameters of the journal or learning log such as pen/pencil only, number pages, dates, etc. Check journals/logs for completion and give credit for work.
