As everyone is considering Credit/No Credit versus Grades this week, I'm mindful that we are ending this most unusual semester without the benefit of sharing a feast, celebrating, and adjourning our learning journey together.
Since we won't have the opportunity to talk in person, I am asking that each of you publish one last post on your blog, in which you reflect on what you've learned this year. REMINDER: your learning includes what we studied together, but it also includes what you have experienced throughout the year, including these last few months.
Here is a suggested title and an outline for you to follow. As always, you are free to build on this and include anything else you think is important. I look forward to reading your thoughts. I will enter final grades on Aeries Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
(title: FINAL REFLECTION FOR AMERICAN LITERATURE 2019-2020)
"This year was unlike any other..."
1. From the beginning, what made our course different than any other course you have ever taken?
2. As you look back on our experience together, what did you find most meaningful?
3. As you consider the work you've done, what are you most proud of?
4. Is there anything you wish you would have done differently, or better?
5. As you look forward, what did you learn in this course that will help you for the future?
6. Are you choosing the Credit/No Credit option, or a grade? If you're choosing a grade, what grade do you believe you've earned? Why?
