Description

Are you looking for a growth mindset activity that’s not boring? This digital social emotional learning resource, which is all about grit, perseverance through mistakes, and being resilient engages your students and improves their mental health at the same time!

Mistakes and failures are a huge part of our kids’ lives, and being able to identify how grit can help our students find success in academics and outside of the classroom is a goal we all have. Students can learn to fail forward, or to commit good failures. Students will be walked through an interactive presentation that you can teach whole group, small group, or even in a flipped classroom!

This Google Drive™ resource walks your students through the SEL concepts of perseverance, being resilient in multiple areas of their lives, and how to handle mistakes with grace and a plan to fix them.

Students are scaffolded through the lesson so that they can understand grit more deeply as the lesson progresses. The resource provides ways for the lessons to be individualized as students create their own grit goals and grit mantras.

This Google Slides™ lesson pack was designed for students in the upper elementary grades.

The Google Slide pack includes:

• a KWL Chart to get your students’ brains churning
• a definition of grit so that students understand what we’re speaking about during the lesson
• A video about Michael Jordan and his grit and resiliency in his basketball career
• Grit sort so that students can identify examples and non-examples of grit
• Social stories with real-world application for grit and making mistakes
• Goal-setting in the area of grit
• Mantra practice in the area of grit
• Answer keys
