I'm like you, Sharon...Thanks for the comments. <br />I'm like you, Sharon. I'd like to tackle all the habits at once, and I would tackle them all if I knew the exact next step to take toward improving each one. The middle school students reflect and determine in which one they are most lacking and what is the most appropriate step toward maturity. <br />For instance, one student might say she needs to improve in attention, so she determines to listen when she is tempted to talk. Another student might say he wants to improve in reverence. Rather than mumbling words of a song he determines to engage his heart.<br />Those are simple examples but I hope they help. I really appreciate that the students choose one habit on which to focus, and choose one way to improve it in the coming semester. Zeroing in on one habit and one step to improve makes the habit stick.<br />Thank you, Loree, for your additions. Writing is far more difficult than I expected.
