Begin UNIT 4 — Final Portfolio & Reflection

Goals for the second part of the week:

1. Post Draft of Final Reflection
2. Quick Peer Review of the draft of the Final Reflection

Due Saturday, December 5th by 11:59 p.m.

WRITE: Post a draft of your Final Reflection so you can do the READ part of today’s assignment. As a reminder, the Final Reflection is considered the final exam for the course, and that is due on December 14^th.

READ (and comment): Peer Review on Final Reflections. This can be a fairly informal conversation. Talk to each other like writers.

• Authors: Ask 2-3 questions that you think will help you do better on this final reflection. Be specific!  Not just “is it good?” but ask specifics about what you have written.
• Readers: Answer kindly and productively. Help your colleague write a compelling reflection!

WRITE: Keep working on those portfolios.

NOTE: On Monday, December 7^th at 6 p.m., there will be a Zoom meeting regarding the Final Portfolio & Reflection assignment that is due on December 14^th:  I highly advise that if you have any questions or concerns about this Unit 4 assignment or anything else, you should make every effort to attend this meeting.

Begin UNIT 4 — Final Portfolio & Reflection

Goal for the first part of the week:  Complete Time Capsule activity to prepare for the Final Reflection

Due Wednesday, December 2nd

READ (OR WATCH/ LOOK AT/ LISTEN TO): Your Time Capsule from Week Two.

 WRITE: Write a little note to your beginning-of-the semester self.  What have you learned this semester? Did you achieve your goals? Did you achieve different goals?  What surprises have you encountered along the way? Were your goals too small/ too big/ right on the money? (You certainly don’t have to answer all of these questions, by the way– these are just ideas to get you started.)  Please title this assignment “Time Capsule” and put it in “Discussions / Portfolio and Reflection.”

BEGIN WRITING BUT DON’T POST:  Hopefully the note above will be a good starting point for you to help you think about your Final Reflection and what you have learned this semester. So, start working on a “Sh&^&y First Draft of that.
