Try It!

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a writing prompt for third-grade students titled “Try It!” The task directs students to write about something they have always wanted to try but are unsure if they can do it. The lined space provides an area for students to express their aspirations and the uncertainties they may have about attempting this new thing. An illustration of a character on rollerblades, who appears to be trying something new and potentially challenging, adds a playful and relevant visual element to inspire the students.

The worksheet encourages students to reflect on their personal goals and challenges, promoting self-awareness and the concept of growth mindset. It teaches them to articulate their desires and the hurdles they perceive, which is an essential part of goal-setting and overcoming obstacles. This activity helps to develop their expressive writing skills as they describe personal aspirations and concerns. Additionally, it fosters resilience and encourages students to think about the steps they might take to try new experiences and develop new skills.
