~ Reflection Journal ~

Guidelines and Guiding Questions

Each week as you prepare for the exhibition, you will be writing down your
reflections in a journal. These reflections may include:
 the progress you are making (the steps you do each day, the plans for the following
day)
 thoughts about how your group is working together
(the decisions you made, the tasks each member has solved, the
materials used)

 what you are individually learning (the information you include in your project)

Here are some questions/ideas for you to think about as you complete your reflection
journal.

 How is your group working together? What are the successes or problems?
 What do you think about the quality of your exhibition so far? What are the
strengths or areas that can be improved?
 Who are you working well or not working well with? Why?
 What have you done to help or hinder your group?
 Are you on schedule or falling behind? Why or why not?
 What do you find interesting as you are working on this exhibition?
 What are you learning from working on this exhibition?
 How do you feel as the exhibition is getting closer? Excited? Nervous?
 What are your favorite parts of doing this exhibition?
 What are you proud of in your work on this exhibition?
 Discuss how you are doing using the PYP profiles and attitudes ("I've been an
inquirer because...")
 What goal or goals do you have for yourself for the rest of our exhibition work?

...and of course, feel free to come up with your own questions or ideas.

At the end of the exhibition, we will be collecting your

journals.
