The goals of the learning log include the following:
• to increase students’ awareness of their own learning processes.
• to identify gaps in students’ learning.
• to explore relationships between prior knowledge and present learning.
• to promote student writing.
• to provide a way for students to reflect on their own learning.

Unit 4 Learning Logs Examples of Learning Logs 48-49 (58-59)

Learning Log Questions (cont.)
A learning log entry is different from a journal entry in
that it is related to the subject being studied. In a
learning log, students are asked either to take what
they have been learning in class and reflect on it or
relate something out of class to what they have been
learning in class.
How can learning logs help students to understand concepts in your class?

In AVID we use the Learning log found on pg 55-56 (65-66) to summarize what they have learned in their core classes for the whole week
