Journals+and+Learning+Logs

**Journals and Learning Logs ** help students to reflect upon and evaluate their reading and learning. They also provide a great deal of insight into what students are thinking, how they understand the material, and the connections they are making. We can then use this information to inform our instruction.

There are a variety of formats for journals and reading/learning logs that can be used in any content area classroom. 
 * Metacognitive Journal**

**Double Entry Journal **


 * Reflective Journal**

**Dialectical Journal **




 *  Learning Log **


 *  Synthesis Journal **
