Graphing Progress

Another idea I received from my PLC: student reflection on progress. What a perfect topic for a New Year and a great skill for all!

We would have students graph their pretest scores and activities along the way and finish with the post-assessment. The idea was for students to see how the percentage rose from the beginning to the end. On the bottom of the sheet was a spot for setting a goal for being successful with the unit and a reflection on how well the strategy worked at the end.
