 Summary/Reflections
Using the space below, summarize the reading and video lesson. You must
provide specifics rather than speaking in general terms. This is an opportunity
for you to assess your learning by reporting and reflecting on what you
remember and understand. Statements such as “I really like this lesson” or “I
never about this before” are not helpful and will receive no credit. Also,
statements such as “I don’t understand this.” will not count for credit unless
accompanied by specific questions. Students should be as thorough as needed
with this section. Writing only a couple of sentences will receive no credit.
