YOUR REFLECTION SHOULD… • Synthesizes information from at least three sources of student writing • Assertions are precisely and thoroughly supported by specific and appropriate references to the sources

*WAYS TO ORGANIZE • Chronological – look at growth over time • For example: • Body Paragraph 1: writing in first quarter (hero project/Beowulf) • Body Paragraph 2: writing in second quarter (Macbeth/learning analysis) • Body Paragraph 3: writing in third quarter (LOTF/refining analysis)
*WAYS TO ORGANIZE • Area specific – look at growth in certain area of writing • For example: • Body Paragraph 1: analyzing literature (compare writing Macbeth essay to LOTF essay) • Body Paragraph 2: sentence structure (compare growth over time) • Body Paragraph 3: incorporating quotes (compare growth over time – from Beowulf to LOTF, or Macbeth to LOTF, etc.)
