Everyone,

Please make a new post for each reflection and be sure you reflect on the following topics. If you have completed any of these earlier in the semester you don’t need to repeat. If you do repeat any, I will give you extra credit.

Also, be sure to complete the two assessments on Reading and Drawings using these links:
