1. Did you try out an idea for your main unit or for a different project idea?

//I tried out an idea for my main unit.//

2. Considering your test results, do you think you will keep this tool in your Unit Plan?

//Yes, I will keep the premise, however I will probably revisit my description and research question.//

3. How do you see the use of the Seeing Reason Tool fitting in with the objectives and standards you are trying to target as well as your overall plan for your unit? How will the use of this tool help students meet the requirements?

//I feel this tool will help students with metacognition. When high stakes testing became so important, teachers have probably pushed content so much that we have failed to teach kids the importance of thinking about thinking. We often fail to teach them how to think, when it is applicable.//

4. How do you see the Seeing Reason Tool enhancing your students' higher-order thinking skills as well as collaboration and communication in your classroom?

//Defending their beliefs, then researching for evidence will clear up misconceptions and hopefully enhance discussion and flexible thinking.//

5. What questions do you still have about this project's design, implementation, or assessment?

//Not now, but I am sure I will when I give it a try with the kids.//
