Pause for reflection on end of year reports, by Daniel H.Pink from his excellent book 'Drive'...
"Try experimenting with the DIY report card. At the beginning of a semester, ask students to list their top learning goals. Then, at the end of the semester, ask them to create their own report card along with a one-or two-paragraph review of their progress. Where did they succeed? Where did they fall short? What more do they need to learn?"
