Thinking about my learning

It is time to reflect about your learning today. Remind that everyday at the end of each lesson we will write on your Learning Diary asking the following questions:

  • Date
  • What have I done?
  • What problems did I have? How did I solve these problems?
  • What have I learnt?
  • How can I improve my learning for the next lesson?
  • Do I want to learn a bit more about something?

Our teacher will check it and give to us some feedback to help our improvements.
