 * In 2.5-4 pages (double-spaced, 1" margins, 12 pt font, Times New Roman), assess your own effort, mastery of content, curiosity, preparation, and quality/efforts/improvement in (a) writing, (b) analyzing, (c) communicating, and (d) collaboration. Also, be sure to consider the "expectations" from the course syllabus. In addition to your self-evaluation, respond to/reflect on one or more lessons learned (content) from the unit.
 * The "mastery of content" should address how well the student knows **all** of the Unit 3 - Essential Questions, not just the ones learned in class. However, this does NOT mean students have to answer the essential questions in their unit wrap-up paper.
 * This is due printed out at the beginning of the next class (//see below//). The suggested grade should ONLY be in one place: handwritten on the __back__ of the last page. Before giving your own grade, read through your essay and check it against the criteria mentioned above.
 * In addition, this unit wrap-up should be in your Google Collection
 * (time permitting) Each student will meet with Mr. Duncan for a few minutes in one of the following classes to discuss the proposal and Unit II.
