                                                    Reading Reflection #11

           “Good project don't come to an end. Instead they open new doors and create connections that you can build into future project designs” (159). As part of the reflection process at the close of your project (perhaps at the end or middle of the school year), take the time to consider how you plan to improve on your students' experience. Consider the parts of the project that were successful and the parts that needed a little extra work; critiquing your work and sharing your insights are important ways to insure that your hard work isn't easily forgotten. 

              Yet again, always remember the importance of your fellow teachers as a valuable resource and consider yourself the same for them: having completed a successful project in your classroom, you have the experience and expertise to share valuable tips and advice. Most of all, enjoy the journey and remember that your “small steps lead to bigger ones” (163).

 

              I think that having completed the project of having my students design a dessert cookbook, I would be able to find lots of things I was proud of (as well as some things I could work on)! Maybe the next year I'd try to expand the project into a multi-recipe cookbook...or perhaps I'd just modify what I already planned.
