Finally, as the ELL periodends, each team’s second-year student team coach conversationally delivers feedback to the first-year team leader (scaffolded by a feedback form shown in Appendix A); that first-year team leaderthen has five days to submit a personal reflection on their ELL experience and feedback (via areflection prompt shown in Appendix B).Each ELL activity is self-contained (i.e., not part of an ongoing, semester-long challenge or project),with each primarily focused on one or two Capabilities [2]. The decision to situate the ELLlearning activities into this short-duration format represents a trade-off in
