  1. Student 1 felt…
  2. Student 2 felt…

Teacher tip

Have each student fill in their side alone first, then come together to agree on a plan.

How to use it

  • Focus on the plan for next time, not on the mistake.
  • Use a calm, neutral voice so the sheet feels like help, not punishment.
  • Keep a stack of copies in a labeled tray so you can grab one without stopping the lesson.

Watch for

Reflection sheets used too often. If a student needs one daily, look for a bigger need.

Talk about it

  • How do you think the other person felt?
  • How can this help you be ready to learn?

Take it further

Celebrate when a student uses their plan successfully.
