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 physics, 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 velocity from today’s reading and activities.

Student Log Entry: I learned that velocity can be positive or negative.  In a position-time graph, velocity is the slop of the line.  There is only one equation for this next test, v=d/t. You make less mistakes if you move around the variables in an equation before inserting the numerical values.

 
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.
