Write a Mid-Year Reflection
Life gets busy. Between classes, homework, exams, and social events, there’s always something demanding our attention.
To live intentionally and take control of our lives, we need to pause, reflect, and write.
Below is a mid-semester/year reflection I give to my students. The goal is to encourage them to sit down, reflect, and respond to the following questions:
- What is going well at school?
- What have you learned so far this school year?
- What are some things you wish you understood better?
- How are your grades?
- What grades do you want to achieve?
- What is frustrating about school?
- What steps can you take to overcome these frustrations?

My goal is to create a set of writing prompts that help equip students with the mindset and skills needed to thrive in the modern world and future economy.
Here is a Google Doc of activities I have created so far. I will be adding to this doc – so stay tuned.
Please comment on the doc and share ideas. This is a project I hope to develop over the next year. If you see any articles or videos that may work well with these resources, please share them.
These are all free resources. If you see videos and worksheets that may work well with your students, please use them! Let me know how the lessons go.
Thanks again for everything!
