=Self-Reflecting with a Buddy=

Vocabulary: self-reflecting, strengths, weaknesses, critique || 1) TTW review how to make a good self-reflection vs a not so good reflection ( create a chart to refer back to as a learning tool) and have the kids critique their reflections. I can record the students making reflections and showing the videos. 2) TSW partner up with a buddy ( it can be there elbow buddy or you can pair them up in a different way) to self-reflect using the chart that we created as a tool and going deeper by creating new questions based on what they are reflecting. Becasue we have been working hard on reading responses, we can listen to each others responses and their connections in order critique each others reflections.We can also do this with Literacy Stations- we have been making I can statements and have been practicing different stations and reflecting on what we have learned. 3) TSW record each other as they ask each other what they learned- strengths and weaknesses. They can use a flip camera. TSW watch videos to self-reflect on how we are doing. How will this help us later in life? || media type="file" key="Self Reflecting 1 006.avi" width="300" height="300" media type="file" key="Self Reflecting 1 007.avi" width="300" height="300" ||
