Purpose of Assignment:

Reflection:

Show how the assignment meets the particular E.S.L.R. and the standard being addressed. Analyze what was learned by completing this particular assignment. Show how this piece of evidence connects to future goals. (Student will include an analysis of the skills used and further developed through the process of completing the assignment. Student should show how those skills connect to future goals, plans or career.) Evaluate the significance of the piece submitted as evidence. (Why is this particular project or paper important enough to include in his/her portfolio? What were the benefits of doing this particular work?)
