therefore could not work on journals. That day, travelled back to
Valledupar and arrived late. The next day, started thinking about journals

. made the decision to look for information related to the definition of
journals and the procedure for writing journals. was feeling laid-back
because was thinking it would be an easy job to find this kind of

about what information should be included in a journal, decided to outline a
list of possible actions we normally undertake when doing tasks. thought
about metacognitive, cognitive and social strategies and considered Rebeca

before. This list was useful for writing specific actions in specific moments of
accomplishing the task.
As was working alone, reread the article had written and corrected some
mistakes. Finally had the opportunity to reflect about the process of looking
and organizing information related to journals through writing "this journal
which let me discover that had accomplished my goals. was ready for
teaching about JOURNALS.
