What if ...we assigned a
reflective comic
instead of an essay?
We created a...
The rubric data was disappointing...
These research
reflection essays aren't
very reflective...
They all

Michele Van Hoeck & Margot Hanson
California State University Maritime
ALA Las Vegas 2014
Creativity!
Something
was better ...
but was it

More
personality,
more humor,
more...

Metacognition helps students
make sense of and incorporate
new knowledge.
Creativity!
