Reasoning Activity Reflection

1) How were you feeling about your reasoning before this activity?
2) What new understanding do you have after this activity?
3) What changes will you make to your writing after the activity?

1) Before I did this activity I thought that my reasoning was achieving the standard.

2) Now I have a better idea of what it means to "analyze" a quote. I also have a better understanding of what it takes to exceed the standard.

3) I still think that my reasoning is achieving the standard. Now I might try to exceed the standard. I don't know if the quotes I chose will work but Ill check.
