This week's virtual Language Arts is very different, so please read the directions carefully:
Use this time to work on one reflection for your student led conference portfolio. We're all doing this, but each advisory teacher has presented it slightly differently. Finish the 1 reflection (2 paragraphs) and send it to your adviser (not your language arts teacher). You will receive a grade in language arts and advisory for this activity. Please refer to the outline I presented you in class yesterday (5/13).
Please send me your reflections at mbuffington.kcs@gmail.com
I will communicate with your language arts teachers and let Mr. Stevens or Mrs. Calder know if you complete the assignments for a grade.
Tips for Success:
- Remember your audience and purpose. Your audience is yourself, your adviser, and your parents. Your purpose is to think deeply and meaningfully about your learning over the last year. You should be able to proudly acknowledge your learning while honestly recognizing opportunities for growth and improvement.
- Remember that a paragraph should have a topic sentence, at least three supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence (think shaka).
- Provide factual and detailed support. (For examle, this lacks support: "I should have started the project earlier." This is much better, "Mr. Marggraf gave us three weeks to work on it but I waited until two days before it was due to start.")
- Avoid generalities. (For example, this is a generality: "I didn't do a good job on this assignment." This is more specific: "I ignored Ms Friedman's advice to always check my work; consequently, I made several careless errors and got 6 out of 10 problems wrong."
- Proofread! Proofread! Proofread!
