Journal writing would be looking at one's own experiences, feelings and thoughts. Especially personal journals record their own lives and offer a ground to learn it better and grow from it. I think reading log is a very useful tool for students to empathize with the characters by "responding to the book or relating it to events in their own lives" (p. 106). Dyment & O'Connell (2010) note that students potential to write high quality reflective journal can be improved through teachers' endeavor: making time to train students, writing thorough responses, developing trusting relationships, and modelling expected journaling behaviors.
