Freshman English and AP English--Reflecting on Your Learning (Metacognition)


Reflection Sheet

Scholars: Consider the following before, during, and after any lesson. Write your responses on a separate sheet of paper after the class, but I encourage you to simply think about these questions during the lesson. By reflecting as much as possible about your learning (metacognition), you will be more engaged, and as a result, become a better student not only in this class, but all of your classes.


1. What are you clear about and what are you confused about?
2. How much effort did you put into this assignment? Be as honest as possible.
3. In what ways could you improve your learning process in the future?
4. Which strategies for learning that the teacher used were most effective? Why?
5. Which strategies for learning that you used were most effective? Why?
6. Why is the information that you learned today important?
7. How did you know which pieces of information were most important to pay attention
    to?
8. What were the main goals of today’s lesson?
9. What suggestions do you have that would make the learning process easier?
