FREE MISC. LESSON - “FREEBIE - Daily SEL Journal, Growth Mindset, Social Emotional Learning”

by Rockin Resources
4th - 8th Grade

This freebie is a small snippet of our 180-Day Journal of Positive Thinking. You will receive a week's worth of journaling from section 1.

Includes printable version only. Digital is included in the main resource.

How is the journal set up?

Daily: Discuss the quote and the person who created it each day. You can even share a picture of them or read a short biography on them. Then, explain to the students that everything they define, write, or illustrate should reflect the meaning of the section and quote.

Step-by-Step: There are 18 sections scaffolded to develop a positive mindset. Students need to reflect on “self” before they reflect on “diligence” or “growth.” Each section builds upon the last for a positive GROWTH mindset!

Quote: Each motivational quote reflects the name of the section. It includes the person's profession and lifespan dates. They are relatable and foster engagement.

Types of people: Many of the people from the quotes are writers or authors. They come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Tell students that they will see many thoughts from historymakers and world-changers and notice how many are writers. Let them know that writing is a powerful way to preserve your thoughts and communicate your feelings, something that you will be doing as you journal.

Word of the Day: The daily word represents the quote's meaning, helping students better understand the section or enhance their understanding of the topic. The enriching words build vocabulary and positivity. Students should write the definition and a sentence. If the word has multiple meanings, the definition should represent the quote and meaning of the section. (You will find an answer key in a separate file.)

Written Reflection: This is for the students’ journal entry. The insightful prompts are for self-reflection. They should reflect on the quote, word of the day, and prompt.

Visual Reflection: There is a space to draw, sketch, or put an image that captures the students’ feelings about that day’s journal entry. The illustrations help foster students' reflections.

Differentiate: Maybe a student is a reluctant writer but can illustrate well. Have that student illustrate both the quote and the journal entry.

Answer Key: There is a separate file that has the vocabulary definition along with a sample sentence.

What sections are included?

SELF
COMMUNITY
COMPARISON
DETERMINATION
INTEGRITY
KINDNESS
COMMITMENT
RESILIENCE
PERSEVERANCE
COURAGE
GENEROSITY
POSITIVITY
EFFORT
INTELLIGENCE
ACCEPTANCE
