Inquiry Phase: Reflect

At the beginning of the Reflect Phase, a student may ask:

• Is my product/presentation as effective as I can make it?
• How well did my inquiry process go?
• How can I get feedback on my final product to use in my next inquiry project?

INDICATORS

• Participates in peer evaluation.

Before moving to to another assignment or personal inquiry, a student may ask:
