Self Check for the End of Class

 

Sit with both feet on the floor.  Put down any objects you are holding (pen, book, etc) and place your hands on the table in front of you or in your lap. Take 2 deep breaths, imagining the air entering the top of your head and moving down to your toes.  Exhale slowly, imagining the air moving up from your toes and out the top of your head.  Ask yourself the following questions:

 

How prepared was I for class today (e.g.  did the readings; thought about the topic since the last class)?

What did I bring into class with me (e.g. eagerness to learn; intellect; curiosity; residuals from something earlier in the day/week; anticipation of something later in the day/week)?

What contribution did I offer to the class (e.g. attentiveness to classmates and the teacher; support and encouragement of classmates; thought, question, opinion or insight; apathy; negativity; nothing)?

What do I take with me from class (e.g. positive energy; negative energy; deeper understanding; confusion; increased self-confidence; decreased self-confidence)?

What do I want to do differently for the next class?
