Lesson 3

We will revise our individual reflections of our groups’ research process and our own reading, writing, collaborating, and presenting skills.

We will individually write a multiparagraph reflective narrative to our teacher that describes our research process and explains our strengths and areas of growth as readers, writers, collaborators, and presenters.

Lesson Goals

  • Can I use devices, techniques, descriptions, reasoning, evidence, and visual elements to support and elaborate on reflective narratives and explanations?

  • Can I apply correct and effective syntax, usage, mechanics, and spelling to communicate ideas and achieve intended purposes?

  • Can I sequence and group sentences and paragraphs and use devices, techniques, descriptions, reasoning, and evidence to establish coherent, logical, and well-developed explanations?

  • Can I revisit, refine, and revise my reflective narrative based on feedback and review by myself and others?

  • Can I think about and evaluate personal and group development?

Activity 1: Write

We will revise our reflective narratives.

Revision is the process of re-seeing your work with fresh eyes. Revision is a challenge for all writers. The art of making writing better is hard work that can feel very messy at times.

Revise your reflective narrative by asking yourself the following questions:

  1. Does my reflective narrative clearly and concisely explain what I learned?

  2. Is my reflective narrative interesting to read?

  3. Have I told my readers everything I want them to know?

Revisit your draft by adding in pertinent details or omitting details that you do not need, or revise your draft for another aspect of your writing that needs additional work.

Activity 2: Write

We will finish our revisions for homework.

Finish your revisions for your reflective narrative for homework.
