How Did You React?

Worksheet Description

The Self-Reflection worksheet is a comprehensive tool designed to foster self-awareness and critical thinking in students by encouraging them to analyze their reactions to events. The sheet is segmented into various sections that guide the student through a structured reflection process. It starts with “What happened?” prompting students to recount a specific event. This is followed by “How did you react to it?” which is split into two parts: “The good things I did were:” and “The not-so-good things I did were:” allowing students to evaluate their actions both positively and negatively.

The worksheet continues with “Some things that could have happened are:” and “What actually happened was:” encouraging students to consider potential versus actual outcomes. This comparison can provide insights into their expectations and reality, offering a learning opportunity. The final prompts, “How did it turn out?” and “From this situation, I learned:” help students to reflect on the consequences and extract valuable lessons from their experiences. This methodical approach to reflection helps students to think systematically about their experiences, enhancing their ability to learn from life’s events and to apply this knowledge in the future.
