Below is a self-assessment reflection activity for your students. After you have went over the above rubric with the student, they can take this opportunity to reflect on and extend their learning.

What competencies did you grow in? How did this occur? Is there still room for growth with regard to this competency?
How do you share ideas and communicate with others?
What challenges have you encountered in our inquiry?
How do you know that the resources you are using for researching are valid and authentic?
Have you discovered any misconceptions you may have had before our inquiry? How did you discover these misconceptions? What changed your thinking?
How is it possible to solve a problem in different ways? Have you ever demonstrated this?
What is the sample of learning evidence you are most proud of?
If you were to be graded on one item from all the learning evidence you have curated, on what one item would you like to be graded?
