Journal Thinking

Your learning journal is a book that you use to keep notes and develop your ideas by using words and pictures.  The main intention of your learning journal is to help you to learn how to make notes for yourself and develop your thinking skills.

Your journal is also a place for writing down your thinking about your learning.  By thinking back over the day we can notice what we have done well, what we liked, what we have worked hard on and what we can improve on.

Make a daily journal entry to review, think back over your day and set a goal for tomorrow.

Use this structure / format for your journal entries
