All you need is a class roster copy for each student and a Padlet Labeled New Year's Resolutions. Pass out a roster to each student and provide each with the Padlet link. I gave my students the following directions:<br><br>For the next minute, create some resolutions for this year. Please keep the resolutions to yourself and any resolution you publish in this activity must be school-appropriate. <br><br>Next, choose one resolution you're willing to share. Post it on the Padlet, but DO NOT attach your name!<br><br>Read each post on the Padlet. Try to match some of the resolutions with your classmates on the roster I provided.
