Today we'll discuss why reflection is vital in our arts assessment. Can anyone tell me what they think reflection means in this context?
Is it about thinking back on what we've done in our projects?
Exactly! Reflection involves considering our learning experiences. It helps us evaluate our choices. Let's use the acronym 'REFLECT' to remember the steps: Review, Evaluate, Focus, Learn, Express, Create, Tell. Who thinks they can explain one part of 'REFLECT'?
I think 'Evaluate' means we assess what worked well and what didn’t in our projects.
Yes! Great job! Reflecting allows us to set goals for improvement. Let's move on to how we document our reflections.
There are several ways to document reflections. Can anyone think of one?
We can write in journals!
Exactly! Journals are a great way to document thoughts. We can also use video logs or give verbal presentations. Each method allows different expressions of our learning. Why do you think these methods are helpful?
They let us share our ideas in ways we feel comfortable with!

Let’s discuss how reflection connects us to larger cultural and global issues. How do you think our art can express identity?
Through our choices and the stories we tell in our art.
Exactly! When we reflect, we can consider different perspectives that shape our identity. Reflection helps us think critically about these aspects. Can you think of an example where your art expressed an important idea?
