Metacognition in FSL

We have been exploring Growth Mindset and metacognition in FSL
as it relates to learning goals and skills: 

 Students created an "Instagram post" based on their past experiences with a goal of introducing passé composé for the purpose of spontaneous communication. Students discussed their past weekends with extensions such as avec qui, où et pourquoi and then prepared a more formal written task. Co-created success criteria included matching images with the text, revision and editing process as well as some learning skills. As a French teacher who doesn't exactly assess learning skills, I'm wondering how this fits in? Although we discussed strategies time and time again, we continue to reflect on learning skills in our metacognition piece of the FSL curriculum. What are your thoughts?
