Reflecting on Experiences

Take some time today to reflect on your learning in science class.  Think about the learning you feel was most important or meaningful to you in our last unit.  You can think about the project, test preparation, or anything else that has been meaningful to your learning.

It does not need to be directly related to learning science.  Did you feel your learning developed in how you learn, think or act?

You will write a 1-2 paragraph reflection in a new post your portal (blog).  Some ideas that might help you:

Reflections show growth: The simple phrase "I used to think...now I think..." can be an easy way to communicate your new understanding.

Reflections admit short comings:  It is hard for anyone to admit challenges or mistakes.  Yet, as you write about these things an amazing thing happens: your brain searches for ways to improve in the future.  This is learning.

Reflections point others to the things that worked: Summarizing what worked well can also be a powerful way to not only show yourself learning, but help others to learn too.  Consider sharing your reflections on your portal.

For some other simple ways to write reflections check out this document.  Pages 3 & 4 have some helpful ways to communicate your reflections.
