RR 10

Covers Chapter 10, Celebrating and Reflecting, of Reinventing Project-Based Learning, p. 147 to 155.

Your reflection should include:

1. Discussion on the importance of setting aside time for reflection.
2. Discussion on the reason students need to reflect and elaborate.
3. Discussion on how schools build tradition and identity.
4. Discussion on the importance celebrating a project.
5. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.

1. It is always important to reflect because it brings the collaborative project to much more than a project. It will become a meaningful experience for your students. They'll be able to celebrate their work. This is why you must always set aside time to do so. 

2. When you reflect on the the project it makes students feel good about what they've accomplished. Also it brings the learning altogether. Students will be able to grasp the learning objectives, meaning behind essential elements, and realize they have learned more fundamental content in an excellent way. They will be able to recognize their growth from behavioral patterns, challenges, dispositions, frustrations, and think about the learning journey itself. 

3. Schools are known for their sports teams, extra curricular programs, academics, etc. The way this happens is they have built awareness in others. Build anticipation for the next generation or class to come. Once people begin to know about it, the community will expect to be involved. People will commit to the learning process. 

4. It's important to celebrate a project. It can be small or big. You should celebrate because learning and it will build your school's identity. It's important to display the learning, a look inside the learners with opportunities for them to talk about their processes, showcase their work to others and look back one more time.

5. This chapter helps me bring things to a close. After all the work that my students and I have put into great projects, I want everyone to notice their work. They should be proud and celebrated.
