My Expectations

Worksheet Description

The “Bell Work” worksheet is a weekly educational tool that helps students set daily learning intentions and reflect on their progress. Designed for use at the beginning of each class, it serves as a prompt for students to articulate their expectations and understandings. For Monday, students are asked to write down one thing they expect to do in class that week, which primes them for engagement and goal-setting. On Tuesday, the task shifts to recalling information by having students note one thing they remember from the previous day’s lesson, reinforcing retention and reflection.

Midweek, the worksheet turns to inquiry, with Wednesday’s section prompting students to write a question they have about Tuesday’s lesson, which encourages curiosity and active learning. Thursday’s focus is on consolidation of knowledge, asking students to record one thing they have learned so far in the week, thus solidifying the learning process. Finally, Friday’s entry prepares students for future learning by having them write one thing they can do over the weekend to prepare for the next week, which fosters responsibility and foresight in their educational journey. This structured approach not only aids in academic development but also encourages students to take an active role in their learning process.
