Renata, one thing I personally found very useful and used all the time during my teaching is online reflections. You can find them here: http://www.thinking-approach.org/forum/index.php?c=11
Apart from making it easier to respond to for me as a teacher, they also brought about the reality component to students' writing - sth that is usually missing in school. Moreover, sometimes students'responded to each other and also asked questions, so reflections were becoming more independent.
I wanted to ask you if you've considered having electronic reflections with your students. BTW, this could also be an opportunity to get some of other teachers to communicate to them.

Thank you for this suggestion. Guess we are all the time coming back to the idea of having something online. As I've mentioned, once I really realised that using online tools might improve the quality of certain elements of the learning. And I love the idea of interactive and 'real' reflections. I will give it a thought.
