Assessment planning

Planning my Assessment:

For this project, I wanted to plan certain elements even if they are not parts of the main project. So one of the areas I wanted to plan is the final reflection where we go over what we have done and reflect. Doing this is not only helpful for me doing the reflection but it will also help my analysis skills as I have used them for this.

Why:

I am planning my reflection in advance to help speed up the writing of the reflection and to ensure I have included all of the features a good reflection needs and ensured I am improving to my best. I also have aimed to improve my analysis skills which will help with planning in the future. The analysis will be a big part of this planning as I will look at past examples of people's reflections to improve mine.

What:

For this planning, I am going to look over past students' reflections and analyse their written evaluations. I am doing this to improve mine by looking over the subjects covered to make sure I am not missing anything from my final reflection. I will review each paragraph of their reflection writing a short description of what they covered in that paragraph and their total word count. I will take this information and make a plan of what I will cover in mine by first listing all of the things I will cover and then putting them in an order that makes sense.
