What+do+I+write+in+a+Journal?

Summarise your progress in your research. Initially this will be gaining theoretical knowledge and the planning of your research. As you start researching this will include a list of your actions with your discoveries, conclusions, thoughts and reflections.
 * For each research process you follow you should be making notes about what you have learned, what was interesting, what was useful, what was not useful, and how this has lead you to be interested in finding the next piece of information - this is the most important section! **

You should give a detailed explanation of the following types of responses each time you complete an activity for the Research Project. You need to be in a habit whereby you comment on everything you learn, and "capture" ﻿ evidence  ﻿of your learning.

__If you looked at a website__, you should copy the information from the page, date it, print it or paste it into your digital journal and make comments about the site.

__If you print out a document__, you should **date ** the document, ﻿**highlight** ﻿the interesting parts, **﻿make notes **in the margins, on the bottom, or on a separate piece of paper. This is what becomes the main focus of your Journal entries.

__If you print out photographs__, you should make comments next to them,date them, pointing out what you have learned from the photographs

__If you are collecting data about yourself __, eg weight, muscles, eating programs, etc you should be collating information in a table that can be compared as you go along week by week and is dated!

__If you are making something, or practicing something __, you should keep regular journal updates about your progress.

__If you talked to someone, or interviewed someone __, you should date the entry, include a copy of your questions, notes about their responses, then comments about which of their answers were most useful to you, comments about which answer matched what you already knew, what was particularly interesting or different, and what you would like to find out next.
