Bell Ringers: Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Writing Prompts to promote positive thinking and a growth mindset!

This resource features 25 motivational/inspirational quotes and multiple writing prompts that come in 4 variations + DIGITAL = 5 variations! They can be used as positive/growth mindset, reflection, or discussion activities at the beginning, during, or end of class – or “just because” activities. The quotes have been strategically selected to ensure that they are relevant for students and that they can relate and make personal connections to them.

These motivational/inspirational quotes and writing prompts can help promote a positive growth mindset in your classroom.

EACH of the Motivational Quotes include up to three questions:

1. What is your reaction to this quote?
2. What is your interpretation of this quote? Do you agree or disagree with it, and why?
3. Individual tailored personal connection question related to the quote!

*******************************

This resource includes TWO folders: EDITABLE and UNEDITABLE versions:

❤️ What’s the difference between folders?❤️

• ⭐ UNEDITABLE VERSION FOLDER (BEST VERSION): The items in this folder contain highly UNIQUE copyrighted fonts, background paper, borders, and graphics that you cannot modify or copy. All items in this folder are also included in GOOGLE SLIDES! There are 4 Google Slide links in total. Every item in this folder includes a digital version.

• ⭐ EDITABLE VERSION FOLDER: ALL writing sections (directions, quotes, questions, and title) CAN be modified. You can also modify or replace the background images in the “Quotes only” file. You CAN modify questions or add or change quotes. The “copyrighted” graphics in this uneditable folder cannot be copied, but ALL writing sections and non-copyrighted images can be copied, modified, or changed! All quotes and questions are in Times New Roman font to ensure accessibility. Every item in this folder includes a digital version and CAN be modified on Google Slides, too! WHOOP WHOOP!

*******************************

EACH folder includes the following items:

▶️ 25 Quotes with Backgrounds only slides (25 slides)

Each slide in this file includes unique, “serene” background image with the quote and author’s name only. You can post these slides on the board, “share your screen” during Zoom/Google Meets classes, and have students discuss. You may generate your OWN questions for them. (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 25 Quotes with a List of Questions slides (25 slides)

Each slide in this file includes a unique background paper with the quote, author’s name, and a list of three questions. Students do not type their responses in these slides. This can be used to display on the board, in your ZOOM/Google Meets classes, etc. to discuss the quotes and related questions. (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 25 Quotes with Response Questions slides (Students type/enter responses – 25 slides)

Each slide in this file includes a unique slide borders and clipart with the quote, author’s name, and three questions WITH SPACES for students to type in their response. You can share the PowerPoint with your students to type in their responses, use it as display (Smartboard, “screen sharing,” upload into Google Classroom, etc.) or students can complete it digitally - Text boxes ALREADY created! (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 25 Worksheets (PDF/Digital – 25 pages)

This file includes 25 worksheets that contain the quote, author’s name, and two questions - breath-taking borders, fonts, and clipart. You can print these worksheets out and distribute to students or they can complete on Google Slides. (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 2 Blank PowerPoint Slides with Clipart and Backgrounds

ADD YOUR OWN QUOTE and QUESTIONS SLIDES!

Also included are two “blank” slides that have the same exact backgrounds as the PowerPoint slides in this resource. Because you can't edit the PowerPoint slides, I included two without a quote or question, so YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN and duplicate the slides as many times as you please with different quotes and questions!

▶️ GOOGLE SLIDE LINKS

There are a total of 8 Google Slide Links (for ALL the items above!) Each item includes a DIGITAL version! It cannot be more accessible than that! TEXT BOXES have already been created to make it easier for you and your students.

DESCRIPTION

⭐ This resource is a Character Analysis POWERPOINT Graphic Organizer set. This “PowerPoint version” of Character Analysis Graphic Organizers contain visually appealing fun clipart and fonts – UNEDITABLE – due to copyright purposes.

⭐ This Character Analysis resource is ideal for middle school and high school students and is optimized for digital learning, distance learning, and Google Classroom!

⭐ These graphic organizers are designed to help students analyze characters in literature and support students in making inferences using ANY text under study. As they read, students use clues from the text (text details) to make inferences and "read between the lines."

⭐ This is an excellent tool to set a "purpose for reading" and keep track of what's happening in texts as well as encouraging students to actively engage in reading digitally! This digital resource also includes a PowerPoint (SAME PowerPoint in the Google Slides). It will be easier for you to use during/for instruction!

⭐ USE WITH ANY TEXT! Students can copy and paste individual slides to create documents for multiple characters. This is ideal for collaboration. The ideas are endless!

Topics covered include:

• Character Traits
• Inferencing
• Character Actions
• Compare and Contrast

Image Observation:

Display a historical image related to the day's date or a significant event in history.

Instruct students to carefully observe the details in the image without providing any background information.

Individual Inference:

Ask students to individually jot down their inferences about what they think might be happening in the image.

Encourage them to consider details such as clothing, setting, facial expressions, and any other relevant visual cues.

Partner Discussion:

Pair up students and have them share their individual inferences with their partners.

Prompt partners to discuss and compare their interpretations, encouraging them to consider different perspectives.

Collaborative Inference:

Historical Context:

After the collaborative discussion, provide some historical context or information about the image.

Discuss how the actual events align or differ from the students' inferences.

Benefits for Students:

Critical Thinking Skills:

Analyzing historical images promotes critical thinking as students must observe details, make connections, and draw conclusions.

Inference and Interpretation:

Making inferences based on visual cues enhances students' ability to interpret information and think beyond the surface.

Collaborative Learning:

Partner and class discussions foster collaborative learning, allowing students to share and refine their ideas through dialogue.

Engagement with History:

Connecting historical events to visual stimuli makes history more tangible and relatable for students, increasing their interest and engagement.

Communication Skills:

Sharing inferences with partners and the class improves communication skills and helps students articulate their thoughts effectively.

Diverse Perspectives:

Encouraging students to consider different interpretations promotes an appreciation for diverse perspectives and helps them understand that history can be viewed from various angles.

Contextual Learning:

Providing historical context after the activity solidifies students' understanding, reinforcing the connection between visual stimuli and historical events.
