Vocabulary Building Activity: Letter to Future Self

OVERVIEW

In this writing activity, students reflect upon their learning after participating in a lesson or unit. Students write a letter to their future self describing what they’ve learned and what their future self should remember from the lesson or unit. Teachers save the letters and return them to students at a later date, such as at the start of a lesson or unit that continues or requires the knowledge and skills, or they give them to the teacher in students’ next course.
