Original Promptmake a fun end of the year reflection activity for 7th graders.
This learning resource is designed for students to reflect on their 7th-grade journey through a series of writing and creative activities. It encourages them to synthesize both academic and personal growth. Students start by summarizing their experience with three descriptive words, followed by a 'Memory Snapshot' where they sketch a favorite moment from the school year. The reflection continues with a focus on personal accomplishments, encouraging students to identify significant achievements. The 'Metacognition' section prompts them to analyze challenges they faced and the steps taken to overcome them, fostering a mindset of resilience and learning. Additionally, students create a 'Growth Map' to connect mastered skills to future aspirations, and they set personal goals for 8th grade along with actionable steps to achieve them. The resource also invites students to share advice for incoming 7th graders and reflections on their past selves, promoting a sense of belonging and community.
