Product description
From the author
This one-page PDF invites personal reflection on happiness, difficult moments, inspiration and the person a student wants to become. Students complete short lists and open prompts, including three verbs for their future self.
Use it as an individual check-in or repeat it later to discuss changes in students’ responses. Sharing can be voluntary. The download contains one reflection sheet with open responses and no scoring scale.
In the classroom
Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Practice naming and describing personal emotions and moods
Identify specific people, activities, and moments that influence happiness
Set a personal aspiration by choosing three descriptive verbs for a future self
Teaching tips
Use it as a beginning-of-week or beginning-of-month check-in, since the open prompts work well repeated over time to track how a student's answers change.
Pair it with a brief class discussion afterward so students can voluntarily share one answer, building group awareness of what motivates different people.
Keep completed sheets in a student folder as a private reflection record rather than displaying them, since some prompts (unhappiest moments) may be personal.
Skills covered
Emotional vocabulary — students describe their current mood and select three verbs to characterize an aspirational self
Self-reflection — prompts ask students to identify personal happiness and unhappiness triggers with specific examples
Goal articulation — the "person you want to become" prompt has students commit to concrete, self-chosen descriptors
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
