Daily Journals
This year in English, we begin every class by writing a journal entry in a google doc. We write for about 10 to 15 minutes then move on to other activities during the class. We're given prompts every class, but Mr Goring says it's okay if we drift away from said prompt. He also does not read our journals unless asked to, he just checks for completion.
As for 21st Century Skills, I think this best represents Self Directional Skills. Mr Goring gives us a lot of freedom when it comes to these journals and doesn't even read them. He just leaves it up to us and makes sure we do it. He doesn't even check them daily, so it's completely up to us if we do the journals or not. |
