The Spotify Wrapped template allows students to reflect on their learning journey through a creative and engaging lens, similar to the popular music platform's year-end review.

The end of the year is a great time to reflect on students' favorite moments from class. They can get a sense of pride for making something worthwhile. Plus, they can get great guidance for future successes by examining what worked well in those projects.

The My Learning Awards Board template is a simple one. They pick out three of their favorite things they created or did in class. Then, they describe each and why they were a success. 

You could repurpose this in lots of ways: top moments of class, top lessons learned, top discussions, etc.

To change the title on this template: Click View > Theme Builder. Find the title and double click it. (It's just word art.) Change the text and hit enter.

14. Learning Dossier template

Let's debrief some of your students' best work! When they reflect on what they've done and how they did it, there are LOTS of benefits:

• identifying what works well so they can do it again
• identifying struggles to learn new strategies to use next time
• seeing how they handled the struggle to increase resilience
• feeling pride in a job well done
• identifying under what circumstances they do their best work

Plus, as the teacher, YOU get to see the thought process and the "behind the scenes" that you might not otherwise.

In this Learning Dossier template, students take a photo or screenshot of work they've done and place it on the left side of the folder. They can rotate a horizontal image 90 degrees so it'll fit. (There's even a draggable paperclip you can put on top!)

Then, the student drags red numbered dots onto parts of the image they want to describe in detail. On the right, they write about the assignment, the details for each numbered dot, and a reflection on the activity.

15. Summer Priorities template

As students finish up the school year, summer starts closing in. It makes me think of the first words of the theme song for the Disney animated series, "Phineas and Ferb" ...

"There's 104 days of summer vacation 'til school comes along just to end it. So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it."

So ... how should they spend it? If they just walk into summer vacation without thinking about maximizing those 104 days (more or less), it'll pass them by before they know it.

This template includes draggable tiles with summer priorities. All are customizable. Students drag their activities to prioritize them and then write about their plan for the summer.

16. Year in Review template

This Adobe Creative Express template is very visual and a quick way for students to display some of their end of the year reflections: successes and challenges, ways they've learned and grown!

Just open the template to remix it. Replace the image and add text, images and anything else. Then export it as an image file to do with it what you please!

17. Reflecting on My Learning template

When the activity, project or lesson is over, the learning isn't over. Reflecting on how it went -- the good, the bad, and the struggle -- can help students in the long run. It helps them think about the content in a new light. But it also helps them think about themselves as a learner and how they can succeed in the future.

The Reflecting on My Learning template gives them choice on how they reflect, providing 18 reflection prompts. Students copy/paste six of those reflection prompt tiles from one slide onto the activity and respond to each. That way, they can self select which prompts fit the work they did -- and the lessons they learned individually.

18. Prioritize Your Week template

At the end of the year, the work can tend to pile up on students. There's a lot to keep track of ... and that doesn't end in the classroom! End of year activities and events make the calendar pretty full.

It's helpful to get everything planned out in one place, and this template can help.

The Prioritize Your Week Template lets students list all of their upcoming work for the week in the left column -- AND their obligations for family, clubs, teams, and other events in the middle column.

When they make a plan for what they'll do when, they can use draggable circles to prioritize. They use a common, simple protocol: A for most important, B for next most important, and C for important but not pressing. You can prioritize each category with numbers. 

For more space, students can write in the speaker notes or add comments to any one entry to add details or descriptions.

19. What's Going on This Week template

At any point during the school year -- but especially at the end of the year -- it's crucial for students to organize, plan, and prioritize their work.

These What's Going on This Week templates give them lots of space to write things out so they can make a plan. Plus, they include some tips to help students plan.

There are two versions of this very simple template: 

• a horizontal calendar (with less space) with space for classes and upcoming work for the week for them
• a vertical calendar (with more space) with a space for upcoming work for the week

You can adjust any of the text on the template by going to View > Theme Builder.

It has just two columns: Classes and the work they need to do for them. 

This one also has draggable circles to prioritize. They use a common, simple protocol: A for most important, B for next most important, and C for important but not pressing. You can prioritize each category with numbers. 

For more space, students can write in the speaker notes or add comments to any one entry to add details or descriptions.
