Some ideas for using this end of year reflection activity in your classroom: 

  1. Warm-up/Bell-Ringer/Activator: Split up the prompts, and use one slide as an activating strategy. You can sprinkle them in throughout the week.

  2. Independent Work: Have students complete the pages independently during quiet time

  3. Station: When you’re doing stations/centers for another concept, add in a “Map and Globe” station. Use this coloring activity as a station.
