I have found that when students have completed a major project that includes many parts, they derive great satisfaction in critiquing their performance. It is an effective way to learn what they think of their learning in skills, content, and critical thinking, and it is an excellent vehicle for learning what I did well and where I need to make changes in the project design. What students think of the project and how they think they performed is an effective teacher-assessment tool.
Obviously, this is an ideal place to learn whether and how students have grown in their awareness and understanding of their own social and geographical
space
, and how that
space
expands by choice and by fate.
