Final Thoreau Reflection Paper

To complete Part I, look in Google Classroom for your copy of the document below.   

To ensure the authenticity and originality of your work, you will create a breadcrumb trail  for this reflection paper. This will include the specified Google Classroom assignment and  hyperlinks to your previously completed nature journal responses (September through May) as well as your Walden annotations completed in Part I (above). 

Go to Google Classroom to find your copy of this summative assessment. And keep in mind that the goal of a reflection paper is the sharing of your unique and personal thought process. As you write, allow yourself to be surprised by where your thoughts lead; allow for the possibility of a realization - a new idea. 

Like showing the work in math, sharing your thought process in a reflection paper is like thinking out loud- sharing with your reader the step by step thought process that led you to your conclusions.  This is why you must use the "I" voice. After all, you are revealing your personal thought process as you share how you arrived at your conclusions. You'll know you’re on the right track when you start using phrases like: “This caused me to wonder why …." or “This surprised me because I would have expected…".
