Author Reflections

These were good questions to have them answer, since they created larger conversations about why their work was meaningful. We are developing a more intensive reflection that explores the leadership skills as the habits of world-changers. Any way that you can leverage this project in your next unit will pay off. We did a research project next, asking the question "Do humans learn from past mistakes?" and many students used their revolution research to connect to current events and make their argument. This reflection should be re-designed in the way that best deconstructs the project, but also leads into the next unit of study, conceptually or otherwise.
