Seniors - here are links to mini-lessons that can help you work through your Senior Checklist-

In the Senior Checklist it is expected that you will write a reflection on each objective. What I mean by a reflection is to write a short essay usually consisting of more than one paragraph, explaining what you have learned about each topic. Some of the topics are in regard to items we have worked on over your time in high school, others will require you to do some research. On occasion, the objective will have web sites provided and possible videos to view before you begin writing your reflection.

As you begin this process, I recommend that you start a document to track your progress on the Senior Checklist. If you would like to create a Google Doc and share it with me, I can review it when it is time for a grade and I will be able to give you advice on things to add, or new places to go and look for more information.

Please list each objective in order as you work on the checklist. Your first sentence should include what the objective is and then go into what you have learned about each topic.

Lesson 1: Evaluate interests, abilities, and skills- checklists and I Have a Plan Iowa- you can include copies of the assessments by asking to upload them to you online portfolio. When you have looked over the items that you put together in I Have a Plan Iowa and in your white notebook, then begin your document, label the first objective and begin your reflection.

Lesson 2: Reflect and draw conclusions from individual assessment processes- Create a reflection on what you have learned about yourself as you completed the assessments over the past few years.
