Keeping a Learning Log

You can write about any of your subjects in a learning log. Here are just a few ideas:

• Write about the most important idea you learned from a reading assignment.
• Write about questions you have or things you want to know.
• Write about what you learned from a class project or experiment.
• Write about your feelings about something you just learned.

Making a Learning Log

1. Divide a notebook into sections. Create one section for each subject you will write about. Or create a learning log folder on your computer with a separate document for each class.
2. Plan a time to write in your learning log each day. Write for a longer time about a subject that is difficult for you.
3. Write freely and use your own words. Start by writing the date. Then put all your thoughts down. Write without stopping for at least 3 to 5 minutes.
