Super Fit Final Reflection
As the semester is coming to an end, it is time to reflect on your progress this semester. Remember our first day running the beep test in the small gym? Remember running the street hill? Intervals? Remember not wanting to do it but you did it anyway? Remember when you thought you couldn't do it, but then you surprised yourself?
As a department, we have been providing the opportunity for you to practice self-reflection and self-assessment along with participation in fitness activities.
Please consider, reflect on and write about each of the following categories of equal importance when determining your mark:
Participation:
Attendance, gym strip, willingness to participate in a variety of activities. Comment on your field trip attendance - be specific. Effort in different activities & block wide fitness days. Improvements or decline since last reporting period.
Motivation:
Is fitness important to you? Why? What does it mean to you? What motivates you?
Did you reach any of your fitness goals? Why or why not?
How does your fitness affect your life outside of PE class? Will you continue with fitness after the semester is over? How/where/why?
Social Responsibility:
What kind of energy do you bring to this class? How do you make the class better for others? What does leadership look like to you and how did you show it? Give specific examples of your positive contribution.
As you are completing your self-assessment, consider that daily participation is not the only thing that your final mark will be based on. Coming to class and being prepared to participate is only part of what is important to your success in this class. I'm looking forward to reading your posts and discussing what you have written in our interviews later this week.

Semester End Reflection
As the semester is coming to a close, we need to take some time to think about what your progress has been and what the semester of Get Fit means to you. Please write a blog post that reflects on your experience in Get Fit - include information about your fitness improvements, class participation & field trip experiences. What activities do you like and why? Have your attitudes towards fitness and PE changed throughout the semester? Why or why not? How does having an all girls class change PE for you? Tell me about your confidence level regarding physical activity. Has it changed? Do any of these changes relate to scenarios outside of our "classroom"? How?
Thinking to the future - what are your fitness plans now that the semester is almost over? What are the benefits of being physically active that you will miss once you are on your own? What can you take with you from this class to help with this? What did your find inspiring and motivating in our class & how can you transition to being motivated on your own time?
I want to thank you for an amazing semester - here are some highlights that may refresh your memory of our Get Fit class:

Get Fit Fencing
It has been a fun few days watching Get Fit participate in a Intro to Fencing "field trip" at Sullivan.
Get Fit Girls - This would be a great time to reflect on your experience. I will provide some guiding questions to help you with your post - your blog post should not be a list of answers to these questions - please write it in a paragraph that would stand alone (ie. Anyone who read it would understand the context)
Now, what should I write about...
What where your first impressions upon hearing about the opportunity to try fencing in our class? Did those feelings change once you got started?
Have you tried fencing before? How do you usually feel about trying new things?
What did you enjoy? What would you change?
Did you put your best effort forth? Why or why not?
What did you learn from this experience?

Midterm Reflection - SuperFit and GetFit
It is time to reflect on your progress so far in Super Fit and Get Fit. Read over your first posts about why you have taken the course and what you were hoping to achieve. Hopefully, since we are half-way through the course (!) you have seen some changes and improvements. Your blog should be a journal of your progress, as the semester continues, you should be publishing posts on your own time providing evidence of things that are important to your journey in Super Fit/ Get Fit. Less of a list of things we did and more of a reflection on what those things mean to you.
I came across this video from UBC admissions - it is about writing a personal profile as part of the admission process. Academic achievement does not tell the whole story on who UBC wants to admit to their programs - They want to know: What have you learned about life? How have you grown?
Watch this short video:
Now, write a post that is does more than list the activities that we have done as a class. Reflect on your experiences both within and outside of class that relate to health, fitness, body image, self esteem, teamwork etc. Find an experience that resonates with you and write about it.
As is required by the Ministry of Education, please suggest a letter grade and percent at the END of your blog post that best represents your journey in Super Fit / Get Fit so far this year. This course is in progress, and their is room for improvement as the semester continues. Provide an honest reflection!
I will be reading and commenting on your blog posts as you write them, and would like to have time to talk / interview you about your progress during class time at the end of this week and start of next week. Please be prepared to talk about what is important to you in SuperFit and Get Fit. Every interview will be different, depending on what you want me to know.
