Student learning logs also provide insight on what follow-up activities are needed to review and to clarify concepts learned.Learning logs can include the following types of entries: • Teacher prompts • Students’ personal reflections • Questions that arise • Connections discovered • Labelled diagrams and pictures

Use the blackline masters and graphic organizers to present information, reinforce important concepts, and to extend opportunities for learning. The graphic organizers will help students focus on important ideas, or make direct comparisons.

Students can use the blackline master to record new vocabulary of theme-related words. In addition, keep track of new and theme-related vocabulary on chart paper for students’ reference during writing activities. Encourage students to add theme-related words. Classify the word list into the categories of nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
