1.       When you think about this project, what are you most proud of and why?  This could be a particular aspect of your final product, part of your work process, a specific revision you made…

2.       If you had 1 more week to work on this project, what would you change/add to make it more amazing? 

3.       Of the categories on the rubric, which do you think your project is strongest in?  Explain your answer with specific examples from your project, and explain how you were able to make this so strong.

4.       Of the categories on the rubric, which do you think your project is weakest in?  Explain your answer with specific examples from your project, and talk about why this is the case.  You should also talk about what you could have done to improve this aspect.
