#7.8 Summative Reflection

Daily Learning Target! (3 min)

I can learn and grow from my experience creating a Flipgrid history of
Detroit by reflecting on the process.

Do Now! (7 min) Interpret the quote below. Be prepared to share your response.
This quote says that if you learn but don’t
reflect on something, it’s a waste because
“Learning without reflection is processing information and
reflection is a waste. thinking about it critically so you can
Reflection without utilize it in your life. If you don’t reflect,
learning is dangerous.” the information is useless to you because
you can’t understand it or know how to
--Confucius apply it in your life. They say reflection
without learning is dangerous, because if
you’re reflecting without anything to
reflect on, you’re only drawing from your
own brain, and could make some
conclusions without learning to back them
up and those conclusions could be
dangerous.

Self-Reflection (10 min) Answer the questions in the graphic organizer below.
List and describe 1-2 areas  I definitely learned some new skills. I learned
of growth. Did you learn how to plan and spread out work over a long
any new skills working on period of time to make it less stressful and higher
the project? Did you quality (I had previously always done work all at
improve any existing skills? once, either right after it was assigned, or right
before it was due). I also learned some about how
to edit videos and transfer them from one form to
another.
List and describe 1-2
challenges you faced
working on the project.
List and describe 1
takeaway from this project.
What will you continue to
work on or how will you
use this knowledge to
continue to grow?
 One challenge I faced was not knowing where to
go to film. I knew that I wanted to film by a
specific plaque, but I didn’t know where that
plaque was, and it took a little while to find the
location online.
 One takeaway from this project was about the
importance of markers and monuments to show
important events, places or people. The plaque I
filmed by in my project was very helpful and
there were others that were also helpful. I will use
this knowledge by maybe trying to get more
markers in historical places, and definitely by
actually stopping to read them instead of just
disregarding them.

Feedback for Teachers (10 min) Help your teachers reflect on the project by
providing specific and helpful feedback.
What did you like about the I liked that we were given plenty of time and a good
project? format to do our project, as well as a good amount of
autonomy to go at our own pace. I also liked the
opportunity to see classmates' projects and learn more,
as well as the resources that were gathered for us when
making our projects.
What didn’t you like about Honestly, there isn’t really anything that I disliked about
the project? the project.

List 1-2 pieces of advice.
How would you change the
project for next year’s
students?
I can’t really think of any way that I would, except
maybe showing the class the projects during classtime,
instead of giving us time to watch it independently
because then more students would see them and also it’s
easier to focus during class tim.
