Post a link to the map in response to your partner who expressed the willingness to travel with you.

Did you consider different strategies before deciding on a solution?
Were you aware of any distractions or obstacles that affected your focus during the learning activities?
Can you reflect on your own understanding of the concepts covered and identify areas where you might need further clarification?
REFLECTION & EVALUATION
The process of reflection begins when a person refers to his/her own experience and recollects what has occurred, reconsiders the experience, and reevaluates it. This effective strategy also improves critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
