Writing

Quick Writes can be used in any content area to develop writing fluency, to build the habit of reflection, and/or to informally assess student thinking. The strategy asks learners to respond in 2–10 minutes to an open-ended question or prompt posed by the teacher. This writing assignment can be used at the beginning, middle, or end of a lesson and can pertain to specific content, the student's learning process, questions they still have, how they relate, etc.

This is a great tool for courses or days of instruction where you may not be taking notes, but you still want students to process what they did during class and have something tangible to refer back to.

Below are some different versions of Learning Logs that you could implement into your classroom.
