This week has been all about reflection and growth. For our first activity, I passed back all of the work students had completed during our Identity Unit. Each student got a folder and placed all of his/her work inside. I gave students a few minutes to look through their work and enjoyed hearing them comment on how much they had written, notice how much their work had improved, and giggle at silly mistakes they now realize they had made.
The next task was to reflect on the work they had done. Each student received a yellow, blue, and purple post it note and they used them to identify individual pieces of work. They placed the yellow post it on the activity they were most proud of, the blue post it on the activity where they felt they put forth their best effort, and the purple post it on the activity that challenged them the most. On each post it, students also wrote a note to me to explain why they had chosen each piece of work for that color. The final step in our reflection was to reflect on their growth throughout the entire unit as a whole. Students finished sentences such as "One thing I learned this unit was...", "My strengths are...", "One thing I'm struggling with is...", and "One area where I could improve is...". I was very proud of them for the thought they put into their reflection, and their honesty. I am looking forward to reading their responses!
