Page 2: Year reflection

Write in silence. Every answer names something in your folder. There are no wrong answers here, and this is not graded for spelling.

You may write this in Turkish, Portuguese, or Spanish if that is easier. The thinking is the point.

1. What can you do now that you could not do in September?

Name the thing, and name what in this folder proves it.




The proof is ________________________________________________________

2. What was the hardest thing in this course?

Say what made it hard. Then say whether it got easier. If it did not get easier, say that. That is a real answer.




3. What are you proudest of?

It does not have to be the thing you got the best grade on. Point at it in the folder.




4. What is one skill from this class you will use first, and when?

Give a real week, a real month, or a real situation. "Someday" is not an answer.

The skill: __________________________________________________________

When and where: _____________________________________________________


5. Optional: What would you tell a sixth grader on the first day of this class?

One sentence. If you say yes, this one may get typed up with no name on it and posted on the wall in September.


May we post it (no name)? Yes / No

6. Grade 8 line, optional for everyone: the career line

One career I would try: ____________________________________________

One career I ruled out this year, and why: ___________________________
