Click File --> Make a Copy to create your own document. Then, attach it to the assignment.


Please take the time to thoughtfully respond to all the questions in detail, and make sure you elaborate with specific examples. Remember, there is no “correct” answer for each question, but rather your objective is to be sincere and to gauge where you are in the process of completing your Reflective Project. In the fall you will review this Ms. Renteria and reflect on your process.


Your Reflective Project is not static, and it will change and evolve over time. This is especially true as you start to dig deep into your topic, and your topic’s ethical dimension. Your own inquiry and increased understanding will drive your learning. Also, keep in mind that you are the authority on your topic, and your supervisor and CTE teacher are there only to facilitate your investigation and to provide you with feedback.

I will be setting up meetings within the next few weeks with each of you to discuss your topic proposal and plan.

Example 25 is an example of option 2. It included a video.
Example 23 is an example of option 1. It is the longer essay without an additional format.

After looking at samples of both options ( Option 1: Essay (2500-3000 words) or Option 2: Essay (1500 words) and an additional format), which option are you leaning towards? Why?

Do you have any questions for me?

Welcome Seniors!
Today during E1 I will review the Reflective Project Requirements and give you time to begin working on your topic proposal and plan. Throughout the year, you will be working on completing your senior essay and project (Reflective Project).

1) Do you have any questions or concerns regarding the Reflective Project? ( You can also ask any questions here regarding class, senior year etc. If I do not know the answer I will find the resources or point you to the person who can help. )

2) What is the career pathway you have chosen to focus on? Although I asked you last year, I want to give you an opportunity to make any changes if necessary. I will also be using your pathways as a way to group you during some activities throughout the year.
