Welcome students and introduce the purpose: reflecting on 11th grade and preparing for senior year. Point out that self-awareness and goal setting will help them finish high school strong.

Explain the timeline on the board. Ask students to think silently for 30 seconds, then write one high point and one challenge from 11th grade on sticky notes or paper.

Distribute the reflection worksheet now. Circulate to support students, offering sentence starters or verbal response options for those who need them.

Hand out the goal-setting worksheet. Model one SMART goal on screen. Emphasize each SMART criterion and how it applies.

Discuss each SMART component with examples. Encourage students to annotate their own goals as you go through.

Show these examples and ask if they meet SMART criteria. Invite students to refine their own goals accordingly.

Have students pair up quickly. Monitor pairs and prompt them if feedback stalls. Rotate pairs if time allows.

Explain the exit ticket process. Remind students this is a quick check-in to gauge confidence and mindset.

Encourage students to keep their worksheets visible—on lockers or in planners. Remind them to revisit goals regularly.
