Provide a learning journal to help students to reflect on what they have been doing. At Cramlington we use a learning journal throughout each module of our Learning to Learn course. All students must fill in this journal and hand it in for feedback. The journal is simply a publisher document with questions in and space to type reflections. Different sheets are used to reflect on different lessons.
