22 Strategy: Writing a Journal
Many instructors use journal writing as a way for students to interact with course material, to make connections, to ask questions, and to encourage further thinking. Below are a few best practices when it comes to journal writing:
- Write in complete sentences
- Use specific examples to show and explain why
- Use both course material and your own personal experiences to further elaborate
- Do not simply summarize. Ask probing questions. Discuss your perspectives.
- Use your journal space as a place to further elaborate on any research you are doing.
