Looking in the Mirror: Helping Adolescents Talk More Reflectively During Portfolio Presentations

Fredrick, T. (2009). Looking in the mirror: Helping adolescents talk more reflectively during portfolio presentations. Teachers College Record, 111 (8), 1916-1929.

The author presents the results of an action-research study he conducted in his ninth grade English classroom. After students delivered their first-semester presentations, the teacher categorized the students’ statements into reflective and non-reflective categories. Using these categories, the teacher taught his students to speak more reflectively during their second semester portfolio presentations.
