Final Exam

Unique Learner Profile

You will be writing a reflective essay/composition in which you will address a number of questions about ONE of the major pieces of work you have handed in for marking in this course. The piece you choose needs to be one that, in your opinion, best represents and reflects your ability and growth as an English Language Arts student, communicator, and writer. It needs to be a piece of work that makes you proud.  You will provide your teacher with

  • a copy of your work OR
  • a link (URL) to it, if you created it online.
  1. Review the goals you established in the very first assignment of the course (A Starting Point:  Self Reflection).  Discuss your journey. 
  2. Did you meet your initial goals?
  3. Discuss your learning in each of the units – creative/critical thinking; communication; personal/social responsibility; personal/cultural identity.   Was there one that stood out more for you? 
  4. Reflect on ways the ideas in this course deepened your understanding about your own identity, strengths, abilities and that connection to others and the world.
  5. What, if anything, were you surprised to learn about your written communication in the course?

Now answer the following prompts with your gut instinct…

  1. I made a connection to…
  2. And this is important to me because…
  3. This went well because…
  4. This has taught me…
  5. This didn’t work because…
  6. Next time I will…
  7. A question I still have is…

Finally, provide some feedback on the course for your teacher.  For example, 

1.  Did you find it easy or difficult to navigate through the course?  Explain.

2.  Did you find teacher feedback helpful?

3.  What would have made things easier for you?
