Procedure

1. Set up a chart with two sections. This can be done on poster paper for a whole-class approach or on copy paper for individual or small group reflection.  Consider using a T-Chart to organize the two sections. 

2. Write a plus (+) at the top of one column and the Greek letter delta (Δ) at the top of the other.

3. Start with the pluses and have students reflect on the lesson, unit, project, activity, etc. and consider what worked well. Have them share what they believe is working well and write it in the “Plus” column.

4. Next, have students reflect on the lesson, unit, project, activity, etc. and consider what they would have changed. Have them share and write it in the “Delta” column. Keep in mind, deltas should be specific and action oriented.

5. Once everything has been recorded, take some time to celebrate the pluses and brainstorm the deltas, thinking of ways that these could be changed or improved upon.
