Students will need to keep a journal of their learning throughout the development of the Exhibition. Students need to write reflections about the process they go through and the progress they make, both as a team and individually. They are encouraged to record their reflections creatively. They can use pictures, illustrations and diagrams; as well aspects of their research they may collect along the way (eg: pamphlets, brochures, and articles).
What questions help me write a good reflection?
- What did you think?
- What didn't you do? And what could/should you do differently?
- What did decisions did you make individually? And what decisions did you make in a group?
- What did you decide to change? Why?
- What problems did you encounter? How did you deal with them? What did that teach you about yourself as a learner?
- What is the next step?
