The Perfect Mid-Year Reflection Activity for Students<\/h1>\n

The December challenge<\/span><\/a> is PERFECT for Shake Up Learning readers! Adobe has partnered with <\/span>Khan Academy<\/span><\/a> to create a challenge to help teachers conduct a quick check-in and semester review with students. Through <\/span>this challenge<\/span><\/a>, teachers will ask students to reflect on their first-semester learning, activate their growth mindset, and set goals for the next semester. (Khan Academy is rich with so many resources for students and teachers, including some awesome growth mindset activities that <\/span>you can access here<\/span><\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

3rd-5th Grade Adobe Express Template<\/p><\/div>\n

In this activity, students use the ready-made <\/span>Adobe Express<\/span><\/a> templates to personalize and customize a graphic that represents their reflections, goals, and learning. There are two templates, one designed for 3rd-5th graders and another for 6th-12th graders.<\/span><\/p>\n

This goal-setting challenge continues the\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cNew You in \u201822\u201d Back-to-School Challenge<\/span><\/a> from Adobe for Education.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflection and helping students build a growth mindset are something I have discussed a lot over the past few years. In fact, this particular challenge aligns with my <\/span>Dynamic Learning Framework<\/span><\/a> and will help students go \u201cBeyond the Bell\u201d through reflection and reviewing goals.\u00a0\u00a0
