ourselves. Mankind may supply us

with the facts; but the results,
even if they agree with the
previous ones, must be the work of
our mind.”

Integration of Findings From
Different Resources
1. Make a Learning LOG.
Learning Log #1
Concept:_______________________
What I thought What I think
Before... Now……
Before I used to think Now, I’ve learned
That….. That…..
2. – Choose from any of the concepts your have
learned today.
- Using the above Learning Log, write down new
ideas or insights you have learned or unlearned
after our lesson regarding this concept.
3. Ask the students to share their “before-
after” entries.
4. Ask for a generalization about the lesson.
- Narratives are interesting accounts of
people’s ideas, feelings and values pertinent to
the development of their culture and society.
