  • This unit was a whammy, we switched from in class learning to remote learning, we covered an enormous amount of content and you accomplished a huge amount!
  • How did the Unit go? Discuss what you learned about yourself as a writer and researcher during this process. What felt most successful? What felt most challenging? What was the most interesting part?
  • Did you try anything new? How did it go? What did you learn? How will you be able to “transfer” or use this learning in other classes?
  • The focus of the unit was on Research and genre, what did you find interesting? What did you learn? What would you still like to learn more about?
  • What are your thoughts on the experience in general? Was it a useful learning experience? What specific skills or perspectives did you acquire as a result?
  • Is there anything else you want me to know about you as a writer (or reader) or your work in this class?
