Reflection+Board

**Problem/Solution** What are important problems in your life? What is something you can do, personally, to help?

include component="comments" page="Reflection Board" limit="10" **Cause and Effect**

Brainstorm your own list of causes and their respective effects. How many can you describe?

Pick three or more of your cause/effect pairs and explain their relationship.

What sort of effects do not have causes and vice versa? Why might this be?

**Supporting Arguments, Evidence and Thesis (Continued)** Make at least three arguments that support your thesis.

Find and cite evidence that back up your arguments.

Revise your thesis.

(Remember to stay on topic and always use language appropriate for school, including standard English.)

**Thesis (Continued)** How has your thesis shaped your essay thus far?

What kinds of evidence have you found that relate to your topic, but do not support your thesis? Has this caused you to revise your thesis?

Revise your thesis. Keep a record of the different versions of your thesis you create.

**Thesis** What is a thesis?

How do you think theses can help organize your writing? **Register (Continued)** In which register do you think it is the most important to develop skill?

How do we know which register to use; what are some of the pertinent factors?

Can you think of a specific person with whom your normal register has evolved? Why do we modify how we interact over time?

** Register ** What does //register// mean to you? How have your registers changed over your lifetime? Which ones do you use most in daily life and why? ** Introduction ** To start things off, please post your thoughts on using wikispaces as a collaborative tool. If you have used wikispaces previously, mention ways you found it effective, or give tips on hurdles for us wikispace n00bs to avoid. Read what your peers write, and if they point out something you hadn't though of, give them some props, or if they make you think of something new, add your thoughts to theirs. As always, spelling and grammar are important, so try to complete sentences and check spells. However, the main thing we care about on this board is depth of thought, critical insight, and awareness of what we are learning as unique individuals with different strengths and values.
