1. Setting aside time for reflection is important
in the end of the project. Reflection provides students with a chance to
reflect on the work that they have accomplished and completed. Reflection lets students create their own
meaning of different concepts. This
allows the ideas that have been learned to stick. Without reflection, students
may not congratulate themselves for all of the hard work and leadership that
they did successfully. Also, it could
make the facts about what they learned to go away from memory.
2. Students need to reflect and elaborate because it will help them in their future projects. Elaborating and reflecting help students with their cognitive thinking and allows them to think about the project in a different light. Elaboration makes the project meaningful to students and makes for more ambitious projects that they be a part of in the future.
3. Building a tradition within the classroom is a really neat concept to promote great project work. Starting a tradition will ignite excitement, especially in the younger classrooms. When the community and parents notice the students' accomplishments from the projects, they will be able to give you support as a teacher.
4. Having celebrations for students after they complete a project, no matter the size, it is extremely important to develop confidence as learners. We, as teachers, need to make our students feel important, like they just completed the most amazing project and that the whole world will learn from their findings. It also allows them to reflect on their project one last time and showcase their project. It also gives us as teachers an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate their hard work.
5. The concepts from this chapter relate to our project in many ways. Using this project can help us build a tradition for celebrating finished projects. In our case, the annual Kicks are for Kids kickball tournament!

Arika, I like that you said this project can help us build a tradition! I think it would be so awesome if the kickball tournament turned into an annual event to involve the community and celebrate students' work!
ReplyDeleteI like your answer about reflection. Reflection can really make the concepts that were learned in a project really stick and is an important part of the project-based learning approach.
