Purpose:

Throughout this project, students will:

• Demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the learning skills that are most effective for them

• Use planning, processing, and critical/creative thinking in creating options for their Design Thinking Action Plan

• Make connections between strategy use and depth of learning

 

Task:

• Throughout the year you will be reflecting on the learning experiences that you will be engaged in within each of your core classes. These reflections will be in various forms: question-response, visual images, mind maps, checklists, etc.  

• You are expected to gather these reflections and, at the end of the year and synthesize them in any form. This synthesis will focus on four major questions:

Who were you as a learner and a person at the beginning of the course?

What experiences, throughout this year, have impacted you as a learner and as a person (how?)

Who are you as a learner and as a person now (at the end of the year)?

How has your action plan assisted you throughout this journey?

 

Process:

The following is the processes used to complete this project:

• Each student will be given a Learning Logs notebook.

• This notebook will be used throughout the year to gather your reflections

• In April you will be able to choose any platform to synthesize your reflections and create the Final Reflection which addresses the above four questions (video, prezi, timetoast, thinglink, edpuzzle….)

• You will be conferencing with your teacher periodically to help to guide the reflection and to periodically work toward synthesizing your reflections (identifying themes from your notes).
