Lesson Plan

• Describe the purpose of reflection in evaluating collaborative work.
• Apply the key evaluation criteria (communication, role allocation, decision‑making, etc.) to assess a group project.
• Use Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle or Rolfe’s framework to structure a reflective analysis.
• Develop a SMART action plan for improving future collaboration.

• Projector or interactive whiteboard
• Printed copies of the evaluation criteria table
• Self‑assessment checklist handouts
• Sample group project summary (digital or printed)
• Sticky notes or digital collaboration tool (e.g., Padlet)
• Markers and flip chart

Show a short video clip of a successful team collaboration and discuss why reflecting on teamwork matters. Recall the recent group research activity and the feedback students received. Explain that today they will learn a systematic way to evaluate their collaboration and produce an action plan, which will serve as the success criteria.

1. Do‑Now (5’) – Students complete a rapid “What worked / what didn’t” poll on their recent group work.
2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Overview of reflection purpose, evaluation criteria, and Gibbs/Rolfe frameworks (projector).
3. Guided analysis (15’) – In pairs, students examine the criteria table and rate a provided case study, citing evidence.
4. Whole‑class debrief (10’) – Pairs share patterns; teacher highlights common strengths and areas for improvement.
5. Action‑plan workshop (15’) – Using the self‑assessment checklist, each student identifies two personal goals and writes a SMART action plan.
6. Peer feedback (5’) – Quick exchange of plans for constructive suggestions; teacher circulates to give brief feedback.

Summarise how structured reflection enhances future collaboration and aligns with the AS assessment criteria. Students submit an exit ticket stating one insight gained and one concrete goal for their next project. For homework, they complete a written reflection using Gibbs’ cycle on their current group task.
