Reflection Guidelines

What is a Reflection?

A reflection paper is your chance to explain what couldn’t be said in your project. For instance, why you chose a particular book/project, the process of completing your project, and how you felt about your project.

You will complete a reflection paper at the conclusion of each of your Independent Reading Projects and attach it to the "IRP Reflection Essay" assignment on Google Classroom.
