SDAIE STRATEGY: Learning Logs/Literacy Response Journal By Daniel Pecheur Created Jan. 27, 2010
Learning Logs/Literacy Response Journal • This strategy is especially helpful for English Language Learners in a reading/language arts setting. • This involves a graphic organizer that is divided into two columns. • The column on the left side should be used for objective information from text, such as notes or quotes from the selected text. • The column on the right is for the student’s responses and reflections on the information contained in left-hand column.
Learning Log Design • Notes on reading • Summaries of reading • Quotes from the reading • Responses • Questions/Reactions to Literature • Recall information/associations with reading • Draw pictures that help connect to reading. • Make connections- brainstorm about text.
Learning Log (Example)The Great Gatsby • Vocabulary: supercilious, elation, banter • Chapter One of Great Gatsby- Nick Calloway introduces himself. He lives in West Egg, on Long Island Sound. • Characters Tom & Daisy Buchanan and Jordan Baker are introduced. • At the end of the first chapter, Nick describes first sight of Gatsby: “…I saw that I was not alone- fifty feet away a figure had emerged from the shadow of my neighbor’s mansions and was standing with his hands in his pockets regarding the silver pepper of the stars.” • Supercilious- arrogant, snobby • Elation- happiness • Banter- speak in a funny, witty way • Nick seems like a good person who tries to find the good qualities about a person before making a judgment. • Gatsby is a mysterious character. He is very wealthy and for some reason he has made an impression on Tom. • Why is Gatsby looking at the stars? What is he thinking about?
