<span style="font-size: large;">Learning Map</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You will work with a group and reflect on all that we have learned, studied, and practiced this year. Consider these categories:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Reading</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Writing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Listening/Speaking</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Other</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You will create a poster mapping all that you have learned this year. I suggest looking through Aeries (both semesters) as a reminder of the assignments you've completed, looking through your English notebook. and revisiting Turnitin.com to see your assignments, rubrics, and comments. </span><br />
