Journals DUE - APRIL 15th @ 4pm



Q3: Journal Reflection

Instructions: 9th grades teams – this document will help you shape your Q3 Journal (if applicable, your Q2 Journal as well).

1. Your journal must cover CONTENT from our Theatre History units. Guiding questions:
·         What was covered?     
·         
What did I/we do?
·         How did we do it?

2. Choose SPECIFIC EXAMPLES that will help answer the following:
·         What was challenging about the content?
·         What aspects of the content have I mastered?
·         What have I learned about myself through the ease/challenge of the content?
·         What new beliefs, skills, or knowledge have I acquired?

3. You must CONNECT our work to your life:
·         Where and when in my life can I apply my new beliefs or knowledge?
·         How does the theatre content relate to my goals for the quarter, high school, or the future?


4. You must reflect on your work in the quarter. It will also be in your best interest to reflect on your peers work:
·         What FEEDBACK have I received this quarter from my peers?
·         What FEEDBACK have I given to my classmates?
·         How have I learned from my mistakes? Have my peers?

5. What are my GOALS for the upcoming theatre unit in Q4?
