The

purpose of this form is to document your learning as it takes place. What you should see is that learning is a process. No one can ever learn everything about even
one topic, and so your goal should be to update this form on a daily basis. As you work:

Include the information you have learned, with the main ideas summarized in your own words. If you cant summarize it in your own words, you havent learned it.
Include the dates so that you can monitor your learning process.
As you learn more, you should always have more questions. We should see continuous questions and answers as you seek to deepen your knowledge.

Knowledge Section: This section will be where you record what you know, as well as what you learn. At the end it should give us a picture of the learning that took
place during this project.

Things you know and things you learned: This section will be the first section you will fill out. Here you will list, summarized in your own words, every important
idea that you know so far. Later, as you learn more, you should add to this list. Choose a specific color for all the things that you know. Choose a different color
for all the things that you learn. This should be summarized in your own words.


Question Sections: Questions drive learning. Asking effective questions is the key to real learning. You should keep a careful record of all questions that come to your
mind. If the teacher comes to ask what you are doing, you should be able to show them the question that is driving your learning.

Things you know that you dont know: These should be questions that come from you. Having focused questions is an important part of doing efficient research.
If the teacher comes to ask you what you are doing, you should be able to show them the question you are focused on. As you learn new information, add it to the
things you know section in a different color.

Things you didnt know that you dont know: As you continue to research and learn, you will come across words or ideas that you have never heard of before.
This is a very valuable chance to learn. It will also lead you to have questions such as: what does this word mean? Who made this theory? How does this relate to
this? These questions will add even more opportunities for you to learn. As you learn the answers to these questions, add them to the things you learned list in a
