Briefly describe the activity/strategy, providing enough detail so that a colleague can
replicate the activity/strategy.
1. Introduction I asked students to form group of four, then I discussed with the
students about their success at school. I asked them to list the characteristics
of a successful student on a piece of paper.
2. Set-up & Supplies
Notepad and pen
3. Directions Go over the list you have created and see how many of those
characteristics you possess. Then I asked them to discuss that with their team
members and see if they can develop skills/characteristics they lack
What worked well? The end result was amazing. Everybody seemed to love the idea.
All agreed that it was so hard to start the affirmation, but once they got involved, they
could not stop. Working as a team in this activity worked very well
What would you change? I would provide more formal tools for students to list their
characteristics, like cardboard.
Would you use the activity/strategy again? Why or why not? Yes, because all students
enjoyed the activity, despite of some resistance at first. Students became more friendly
with one another afterward
Please describe any student learning and/or changes that you observed after the
implementation of the activity/strategy. I told students that I expect students to perform
according to the end results of their affermation and I did. I questioned students about
their absences and missed homework when they missed days/homework. This resulted
in a high attendance rate and more positive energy for the students
