Unit 1 Reflection
You've completed Unit 1: Foundations. Before moving on, take 10-15 minutes to reflect on your learning this week.
Part 1: Learning Target Self-Assessment
For each learning target, rate your confidence and provide one specific piece of evidence from your work this week:
| Learning Target | Confident | Getting There | Need Practice | My Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I can analyze how a poet uses literary techniques to create meaning | (What specific work shows this?) | |||
| I can explain how an epic poem reflects cultural values | (What specific work shows this?) | |||
| I can construct an evidence-based literary analysis | (What specific work shows this?) | |||
| I can make meaningful cross-cultural connections | (What specific work shows this?) |
Part 2: Essential Question Reflection
What do the stories a culture tells about its founders reveal about what that culture values most?
Write 3-5 sentences responding to this question, drawing on specific evidence from your work this week. How has your answer to this question changed or deepened since Day 1?
Part 3: Process Reflection
Answer one of the following (3-5 sentences):
- What was the most challenging part of this unit for you? What strategy did you use to work through it?
- What did you learn from your peer feedback exchange? How did someone else's perspective change your thinking?
- If you could go back and redo one part of this unit, what would you do differently and why?
Part 4: What I Want to Remember
Write one sentence completing this prompt: "The thing I most want to carry forward from this unit into our continued study of Beowulf is..."
This can be a skill, an insight, a question, or a feeling. There's no wrong answer.
Coming next: Unit 2, where we meet the hero Beowulf himself and the terror that threatens Heorot.
