For your Final Project, you will reflect on the experiences in this course and create an ebook to share this reflection. Reflection is an important part of any class, but especially those in which you may be sharpening your skills. While you knew how to read when you started this class, how has reading changed for you now that you are at the end of the course? Do you find yourself looking at reading differently or thinking differently when you read? How so? If not, why not?
Prior to beginning work on this final project, review the following:
How to Make a Portfolio for School (Links to an external site.) webpage article
Student-Made E-Books: A Beautiful Way to Demonstrate Learning (Links to an external site.) blog post

Slide 3: Describe the top three strategies that were most effective in your reading.
Which strategy will be the first strategy you use for reading in your future courses? (This slide should have four or more sentences.)
Support your choice with at least one quote or paraphrase from the materials we have used in this course. Remember to include an APA-style citation.
Slide 4: Assess a strategy that did not work for you. (This slide should have four or more sentences.)
