Journaling. Introspection Journal

The Introspection Diary consists of 3 exercises that you will do at different times of
the first partial. It consists of 3 written reflections that have triggering questions and
dynamics. You can use the format that you like best:
● physical notebook
● voice notes
● Video
● creative presentation
● Short Essay
The questions are designed to generate a self-criticism about your performance
as a student, in such a way that you can identify your strengths, areas of
opportunity, positive and negative habits that keep you from your personal goal in
your final stage of high school.
In essence, you will be applying the reflection-innovation-implementation cycle in the
most important project of high school: you.
