Hi Christine: Great. I think journalizing is a good thing, though not required, but I think better teachers tend to use them more so than newer teachers. The thing is they can be in any format and contain just about anything the instructor feels is worth recording. You've listed some. Even the format varies, from notebook, electronic files, blank lined notebooks. The recorded information can be pragmatic, reflective, opinions, comments, ideas, feelings, notes from lessons, really, it's whatever the teacher feels they might benefit reading about sometime in the future.
