PERFORMANCE TASK
At the beginning of the semester, students were given a google document with the guiding themes revised into reflective prompts. At various points over the rest of the year, students were asked to reflect on one question at a time with a written response. Examples of when the reflections were assigned are: performing at hoʻolauleʻa, being an audience at Chapel, watching One Voice movie, etc. Students were also given a rubric on response expectations. On one occasion, there were given the choice to pick which prompt they wanted to reflect upon.
