HUMANS
OF AISJ - A REFLECTION OF LEARNING
This project, though it seemed easy at first, took a long time
to perfect. But, what have you learned?
·
Your approaches to learning
·
Our community
·
Skills you can carry with you throughout your
academic career – and beyond, maybe.
Approaches to Learning were
instrumental in the success of this project. Talk with your parents and/or your
friends, and thoughtfully reflect on your learning.
ASSIGNMENT:
REFLECTION ON YOUR ATLs – Write a multi-paragraph essay that provides
thoughtful reflections about your approaches to learning. This essay must be well organized using an
introductory paragraph with a topic sentence, paragraphs with details that
provide descriptions, and examples/evidence of your approaches to learning, and
must have a concluding paragraph that sums up what you have written about your
learning. You must be honest about what
you did well or not so well. You must
pay attention to your conventions, making sure that you have spelled,
punctuated, and capitalized properly. THIS ESSAY IS PART OF YOUR GRADE FOR WRITING
AND CONVENTIONS. I WILL HAVE GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS AT THE FRONT OF THE CLASS
IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WRITING YOUR ESSAY.
