I am learning to…

  • identify a variety of my skills in speaking, listening, viewing, representing, reading, and writing;
  • describe my learning using appropriate activities I have completed in the course;
  • reflect on my strengths and my next steps.

What have you learned?
How well have you learned it?

You will be receiving progress reports at home for all of your courses. In this course, you are learning to determine your own mark. We will use the opportunity of progress reports to practice how to go about thinking about your learning and evaluating it.

Review the tools we use in this course
1. Tracking Sheet–>a list of all the activities we do and your completion of them
2. Learner’s toolkit–>a list of many of the tools you need to learn to use to be an excellent learner…..don’t say “NO” to any item now. You can say “NOT YET” and explain why not yet.
3. Sesame–>where you house evidence of your learning and your thinking about learning
4. Evidence of learning –>connects the activities to the curriculum; that is, what are you learning by doing the activity

Review: Evidence of Learning document
1. Highlight each activity that you have completed
2. Review the feedback you received on the items
3. Choose the best activity in each strand and circle it
4. Write your observations or comments about your learning
