Shield yourself

Resources:


Google Shield template.



What to do:

Why not get students to design their own shield that represents them. Their shield could include (see below) either as words or images/pictures/photos/drawings/colours?
  • What motivates them as learners
  • What barriers they feel they face
  • What strengths they feel teachers think they have
  • How could they be a better learner
The shields can then either be stuck in the students planners? On a learning wall? Just kept with the teacher for their reference. 

Copies should be given to the students for reflection. Maybe they can re-draw their shield at different points of the year. 

Variations:

Create one for yourself, as a teacher?
Create a shield for your form? class? school?


 
This post is inspired by @FurtherEdagogy’s shield!

    I did this with my new form when I moved schools, but using a Lego Man template. I liked the fact that you could have the face and emotions as well as the information!
