Sorry this one's late... maybe you can file it away for next year. My writing mini-lesson is only 10-15 mins., so this lesson took 3 days. I first discussed what a resolution is.... previous years' resolutions have been, "I'd like to play video games more." It's important they understand that resolutions make us better either on the inside or the outside. =) I always have them plan in various ways. This time, they listed 3 goals they might be interested in.
The next day, I had them pick one and write how they'd achieve this goal.
Finally, they get to create themselves. I love how creative they choose to be. It's completely up to them! *I also feel it's important for them to pick their skin color. Unfortunately, my Hispanic friends are at a loss: neither manilla nor brown works for them... I need to search around for some tan paper.
