Reflect & Write Small-Group Plan

Students will engage in guided reflective writing to identify and articulate emotions, enhancing self-awareness and emotional literacy while practicing academic journaling skills. By the end, students will complete personalized journal entries and an exit ticket capturing their current emotional state.

Incorporating social-emotional learning into ELA supports students’ holistic development by helping them recognize and articulate feelings, build emotional vocabulary, and develop reflective writing habits. This lesson addresses Tier 2 support needs by strengthening self-regulation and academic writing endurance.
