The following examples demonstrate a range of student writer's logs.
Some logs are more helpful than others because of the depth of thought.
The highest quality reflections use higher level thought processes rather than simple summary. Evaluation , analysis , planning , comparison , and problem solving are the types of thought processes used most often in the quality reflections written by my students. These types of thought processes are demonstrated in the following models. Although each example is labeled with one thought process, you may note that in many cases, the types of thought tend to overlap. For example, the best evaluations involve analysis and could possibly involve problem solving.
