Instructional Ideas

• Ask students to employ the same writing techniques they have been practicing throughout the year for this assignment (i.e. using specific examples to support their ideas, offering a clear voice and perspective, etc.)
• Consider presenting this document to your department or at a PLC meeting and having all students complete the assignment for each year of high school. They can then compile these writing pieces into a portfolio and reflect on their progression and learning experience

Classroom Considerations

• The PDF includes information that is specific to the author's school and course; you must adapt the assignment to your own text document

Pros

• Reflection questions can apply to various subject areas and grade levels
• Opportunity to choose from the 15 questions will encourage greater interest and enthusiasm from students

Cons

• None
