Learning Goals:
I am learning to
Engage in conversations to form conclusions

Today, we will begin class by joining the ENG3E4E class to recap the #CraftReconciliation Project.

Slide Show: #CR Recap

After reviewing the work we have done, the big question is:

Why is this / has this conversation been important?

In small groups, discuss your answers to this question. Generate ONE tweet that answers the question (make sure to include #craftreconciliation in your tweet!):

#craftreconciliation + 120 characters

We will return to our class to discuss the #CraftReconciliation Rubric.

Read the rubric individually. Then, we will discuss this together. You should annotate your rubric – think about what evidence of learning you have and where it is located.

Finally, you will complete an individual #Craft Reconciliation Final Reflection. Think about how you will share your learning:

  • audio
  • video
  • D2L

Submit your final reflection through the assignment submission page on the blog.
