Individual Spiritual Growth:
Learning Logs
Objective:
To create a special space for
students to keep track of assignments and thoughts for the religion unit.
Materials:
A small notebook for each
student. Something with a wire binding works well, with lined paper.
The Lesson:
Give out the learning logs and
explain that they should be used for all work for the lesson, instead of regular
binder paper. Students should feel free to use them as a journal during the
unit, as well as to take notes in or jot down ideas. Remind them that you will
be looking at them, so they are not confidential.
Students can decorate the notebooks so
that they reflect their personalities or interests. Make sure their names are on
them though!
Learning logs are referred to in several places during the lessons.
Follow-up/Assessment:
Every once in a while, collect the notebooks to read
what the students have written. Write back to them, but do not assign grades to
any pieces that are reflections or journal entries.
