I have recently updated the RISE Reflection sheets I use with students. I use the sheets to get learners thinking critically about how they can improve on embracing and exhibiting their RISE values. The Reflection sheets ask students to answer a series of restorative questions using the SEXC paragraph structure. I have updated my RISE Reflection sheets by adding components that require students to incorporate different sentence types. The different sentence types are outlined on the Write That Essay resource: '12 Ways to Write a Sentence.' On the latest iteration of my RISE Reflection sheets, students must include three different sentence types in their reflections. They must also demonstrate understanding of these by explaining the sentence types using the SEXC paragraph structure. I believe that by including the sentence-writing components in my Reflection sheets I will be be able to improve the quality of my students' expressions of critical thinking as well as their overall literacy. I intend to monitor the effect of the sentence-writing components on my students' RISE Reflection answers.
