Sentence
Starters For Your Learning Log
Directions: Every
day we will stop class ten minutes before the end of the period
to write in our Learning Logs. Choose one or more of the following
sentence starters to help you get started or write about what
you accomplished in class today. Be specific. You will use the
information in your Learning Log to write part of your I-Search
paper and to write a reflective essay. Choose a sentence starter
that truly fits what you did and what happened to you that
day. You may use the same sentence starter more than once, and
you do not have to use every sentence starter.
