Establishment:

Students initiate the practice of recalling and recording learning events, payingattention to and expressing their feelings
•
 
Structured questions are provided to a: serve as a guide for contributions andb: allow students to become comfortable with the format
Introspection
 
•
 
Students begin to analyze own opinions. Structured questions remain.
•
 
Focus of entries shifts from “written for teacher” to “written for the world” 
Reflective Monologue
 
•
 
Students no longer rely on structured questions to reflect on learning topics orclass issues. Students write for themselves.
•
 
After this stage, teacher can begin to phase out dedicated class time forblogging and rely on student self-direction.
Reflective Dialogue
 
•
 
Deeper reflective process requires the students to consider their style of expression, intended audience and thoughts
•
 
Individual styles of writers appear
•
 
Some students may write a great deal at this point: others may stop or slowdown (teacher redirection to stage 3 may help)
Knowledge Artifact
 
•
 
Students move from personal knowledge publishing to reflecting on theknowledge learned
•
 
Used as a teaching tool for OTHER students
