A Guide to Write Journals
How to write the journal?
Summarize the main points in the required chapters in a creative way and write your reflection.
You can write the journal as an essay
Or
You can use a mind map to summarize the main points and then write a reflection in a form of a paragraph under the mind map.
Your journal should include:
1. A brief overview (SUMMARY of the important points) of the required chapters.
2. Write your reflection:
The experience that you felt was particularly meaningful for you.
A discussion of what you have personally learned (your weaknesses and your strengths)
discuss your plans for improving your learning experience “of some aspects in the chapters”, how you are going to use the internet “in particular” to fill the gaps in your understanding.
