DRA - Daily Reading
Assignment
On most days, there will be a
chapter:section written on the far left
side of the board. Your assignment
for the first 10 minutes of class is to
read that section and summarize it in
four sentence. You should also add
one sentence of reflection about your
thougthts, questions, and /or
impressions of the reading assignment.

LEARNING LOG
Rationale
A learning log is a
repository that students maintain in
order to record ideas, questions,
reactions, and reflections, and to
summarize newly learned content.
For biology II, you will spend the
final 5 minutes of each class (or do it
for homework if there’s not time for it
in class) writing about what your
learned from that day’s class.
Sample Learning Log Prompt and Entry
Teacher Prompt: In your
own words, tell what you have
learned about the human brain from
today’s reading and activities.
Student Log Entry: I learned that the brain has a right and left
half that are called cerebral
hemispheres.
But really the brain has four
main parts—the cerebrum, the pons,
the cerebellum, and the medulla
oblongata. I also learned that when
the arteries in the brain become
blocked it can cause strokes.
The brain doesn’t get enough
oxygen and is damaged.

|
NOTE: The DRA and
Learning Log for each day should be
dated and can be written on one side of
a page (DRA on top, LL on the bottom) or
on both sides (DRA on the front, LL on
the bottom). Whichever you choose,
please be consistent. The complete
set of DRAs, Learning Logs, and your
handwritten items that you miss on tests
will be picked up 4 days before the end
of the grading period for 1 test grade. |
