Mrs. Super 7th grade Portrait of A Graduate Activity: Because the Portrait of a Graduate trait is "responsibility" we used our Panther Period to brainstorm areas of life in which we feel different responsibilities. They used one color marker to write down what they're responsible for as a student and responsibilities at home were written in a different color. They used a third marker to write down ways to deal with stress and time management. Students discussed how "filled" their "plates" were and starred and circled things that they wanted to prioritize and some things they could let go. We discussed distractions like social media, technology and other negative things that we tend to prioritize and how to cut back on them to be more responsible, how to not let social media take away our joy, and how to take responsibility for ourselves without blaming others. It was a three day lesson they loved and felt was extremely valuable :)
