TRY THIS TOMORROW: TEN IDEAS FOR REFLECTING AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR
In “10 Ideas for Reflecting at the End of the School Year,” the New York Times Learning Network shares reflection ideas that move beyond simple end of year responses. Students are invited to consider creative ways to reflect, from creating playlists that capture memories from the year to reflecting on moments of struggle.
What makes this collection so impressive is its variety. Some invitations are deeply personal, some creative, some analytical, and some highly social. There are opportunities for writing, drawing, discussion, multimodal composition, and inquiry. The range of approaches allows students to reflect in ways that feel authentic to who they are as learners and how they make sense of their experiences.
As the school year winds down, this teaching resource might spark entirely new possibilities for reflection in your classroom.
