What are we doing this week?

 

Practice Journals

EXAMPLE – Grush’s Practice Journal

I have been doing this every day for the past month.  It takes only a few minutes and really helps me focus my practice and make it more effective.  I am asking students to simply write notes on your practicing at the beginning of each class, and then post a weekly reflection on your haiku wiki page.  Of course, you can always jot down your thoughts on each practice session at home right when you finish.  🙂
