Biological writing prompts

• Provide students with an article about learning and ask them to reflect on their childhood memories in relation to their reading. E.g. first memory of learning any new knowledge or skill – reading, writing, singing, dancing, skating etc. Ask them to relate this to the article they read.
• Synchronous/ Asynchronous: Ask students to post their written expression in a ‘Chat’ or on a discussion board and ask the other students to respond to the same.

Group reflection

• After students have finished the group assignment, ask them to review and reflect upon their work and answer the following questions:
  • To what extent was the task successfully accomplished?
  • To what extent were the resources used?
  • If you were the instructor, what would you include as strengths and limitations of your work?
  • Is there anything you would like to do differently?
• Asynchronous: Provide time and structure to aid in the success of group reflection. It may be appropriate to use tools that provide anonymity.
