A YEAR IN REVIEW
TASK:
A reflection of what you have learned in class helps identify areas you might want to
further study or learn about. Think back over the past year about all the topics and
activities we have done in this class. You will create a visual presentation to share
your reflections on the lessons and activities you completed during the past year.
Brainstorm
Think about all the activities you have done in this class over the past year. What
readings did you like? What projects? What topics? Do you have any work samples
that you have saved?
Reflection Presentation
You will create a visual presentation using PowerPoint, Prezi, a Paper Slide
presentation, or some other multi-media presentation tool, to share your reflection of
this class to your classmates and teacher. Your presentations should be organized by
topic and should include the following information:
 Introduction – who you are, what class period, teacher. You may want to
include a photo of yourself.
 Topics of Interest – include at least three topics of interest you studied this
year. It could be an event or an assignment that you found interesting,
research you conducted, a primary source document you analyzed or another
interesting resource you were exposed to. If you have work samples include
those. Include a visual representation for each topic of interest; this could be
the assignment, a picture in your text book or some other visual
representation.
 Area of growth – what is one area you can continue to learn more about in
this subject matter? Explain why you want to learn more about that area.
