Student Instructions
Welcome to Your Writing Unit 1 Reflection! It's time to look back at your learning and celebrate how much you've grown as a writer! 1. Read each reflection question carefully. 2. Choose how you want to share your answers: record a short video (speak and show your writing) or type a paragraph. 3. Use the tips on each page to help you answer each question. 4. Be honest - think about what you've learned, what you're proud of, and how you can continue to grow as a writer.
Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This short three-part activity helps students reflect on their realistic fiction narrative unit by answering three simple prompts. Each prompt may be completed by a brief screen+voice recording or by typing a paragraph. Use one lesson block (20–30 minutes) for students to complete all three reflections. Minimal prep: ensure students know how to record and how to submit typed responses. Provide quiet space or alternative options for students who prefer not to record. For each open-ended question, a high-quality answer: • Directly addresses the prompt with at least one specific example from the student’s own writing (for example, a line, scene, or writing move). • Shows clear reasoning or feelings (why something was enjoyable or challenging). • Offers a short reflection about next steps or what they learned. Teachers may mark responses as sufficient/needs follow-up when grading. Encourage sharing a few student examples aloud to build community, but do not require public sharing.
