Each student reviews exhibition response cards, gallery walk notes from earlier milestones, and the team’s final artifacts to write a short reflection. The reflection explains how Black Death evidence, modern outbreak statistics, community feedback, and peer critique shaped the final recommendation, and identifies one concrete next step if the team had more time. Students attach one annotated response card or feedback note as evidence for a revision claim.

#	What teachers do
1	Launch the reflection by naming the goal: use exhibition feedback, gallery walk notes, historical comparison evidence, outbreak statistics, and final artifacts to explain how the team moved from evidence to action. Briefly review the reflection checklist, the required annotated feedback artifact, and the expectation that students reference community-partner feedback and one concrete next step. (10 min)
2	Have students individually gather and organize their evidence packets: exhibition response cards, earlier gallery walk notes, final policy brief or campaign, prototype photos or sketches, and any data charts. Ask them to sort materials into four categories: history, statistics, feedback, and revision decisions, then choose one feedback artifact to annotate for a revision claim. (15 min)
3	Guide students through a silent planning routine in which they complete a reflection organizer or notebook outline with these prompts: What disease-prevention problem did your team address? What Black Death comparison mattered most? What statistic most influenced your recommendation? What feedback from peers or clinic/community audience changed your work? What criteria, constraints, tradeoffs, and language-accessibility decisions shaped the final product? (15 min)
4	Students draft their individual evidence-to-action reflection, citing specific examples from the final product and evidence set. Prompt them to explain why their final solution was stronger than earlier ideas or alternatives, how scientific and historical evidence informed decisions, and how multilingual communication choices improved usefulness for different audiences. (20 min)
5	Run a paired revision exchange focused on clarity and evidence use. Partners read each other’s drafts, check for all required elements, and leave two targeted notes: one place where the evidence clearly supports a claim and one place where the writer needs a more specific citation, statistic, feedback example, or explanation of revision. (10 min)
6	Students revise and submit the final reflection with the annotated feedback artifact attached. Close with a quick written exit line in which students name one concrete next step they would take if given more time to improve the policy brief, campaign, or prototype. (10 min)

Preparation (8 items)

Prepare a reflection checklist that includes: disease-prevention problem, Black Death comparison, modern outbreak statistic, community or clinic-partner feedback, criteria and constraints, tradeoff or ethical consideration, multilingual or accessibility choice, explanation of revision, and one concrete next step.
Gather and organize each team’s exhibition response cards, prior gallery walk notes, peer critique cards, and any audience feedback from the Community Health Action Forum into labeled folders or trays for quick student access.
Print or post a participant-facing reflection prompt and sentence stems for citing evidence, such as: 'A pattern from the Black Death that informed our work was…' and 'Feedback from ___ led us to revise…'.
Prepare access to final artifacts, including policy briefs, campaign visuals, prototype photos or physical models, data displays, and any multilingual materials students created.
Create a simple annotation model showing how to mark one response card or feedback note with labels such as 'feedback received,' 'revision made,' and 'impact on final recommendation.'
Arrange the room for individual writing with easy access to evidence materials, plus partner seating for the revision exchange during the later step.
Provide supports for varied learners, including bilingual glossary options, printed reflection organizer templates, chunked checklists, and optional speech-to-text or audio drafting tools.
Set up a submission system for final reflections and attached annotated artifacts, whether digital or paper, so individual assessment materials stay matched to each student.

Student-facing instructions

You will write an individual reflection that explains how your team used evidence to shape its final disease-prevention recommendation. First, collect your materials: exhibition response cards, gallery walk notes, your final policy brief or public health campaign, prototype photos or model, and any charts or statistics you used. Sort your evidence into history, statistics, feedback, and revision decisions. Choose one response card or feedback note to annotate by showing what the feedback said, what revision your team made, and how that revision improved the final product. Then plan and write your reflection. Your task is to explain the problem your team addressed, how evidence from the Black Death comparison helped you understand the modern outbreak, which outbreak statistics justified your recommendation, how peer or community-partner feedback changed your work, and how criteria, constraints, tradeoffs, and language-accessibility choices shaped the final result. You should also explain why your final solution was stronger than earlier ideas or alternatives and name one concrete next step you would take with more time. Use your materials as evidence and attach your annotated feedback artifact when you submit.

Success criteria

You are successful when you submit a complete individual reflection and one annotated feedback artifact. Your reflection clearly identifies the disease-prevention problem, references at least one Black Death comparison, cites at least one relevant outbreak statistic or data pattern, and explains how feedback from peers, audience members, or clinic-connected participants led to a specific revision. It describes criteria, constraints, and at least one tradeoff or ethical consideration that shaped the final recommendation. It explains how charts, prototype features, campaign tools, or communication formats contributed to effectiveness, including at least one language-accessibility or multilingual choice. It compares the final solution to an earlier idea or alternative and states why the final version was stronger. It ends with one concrete next step for improving the product or recommendation.

Facilitator notes

Keep the opening brief and move quickly into evidence sorting so students spend most of the period writing with materials in hand. Model the difference between summary and explanation: students often retell the project instead of showing how evidence caused a design or recommendation change. Push for precise references to data, feedback, and revision decisions. If students struggle to start, conference using short prompts such as 'What changed because of feedback?' and 'Which statistic actually affected your recommendation?' Encourage students to use sentence stems, bullet planning, or oral rehearsal before drafting. For multilingual learners, allow drafting in a mix of languages before producing the final version expected for submission, and provide vocabulary supports for criteria, constraints, tradeoffs, and accessibility. For students who need structure, require one paragraph or section per evidence source: history, statistics, feedback, and next steps. During partner review, direct students to comment on completeness and specificity rather than grammar first. Watch for missing community-partner references and missing annotated artifacts, since those are common end-of-project omissions. Preserve a calm writing environment and give a 5-minute warning before the revision and submission step.
