Gratitude Quotes Posters and Reflection Worksheets: Character Traits Quotes

Item description

These character traits quotes posters and activities for GRATITUDE are perfect character traits activities for your classroom! 

This file includes ten gratitude posters (in full color and in black-and-white) and ten corresponding gratitude worksheets.

You can use this resource in several ways.

• Display each character quote poster in the classroom as time allows and discuss one quote at a time.
• Complete the activities during class, with partners or groups, or send it home for homework. An intriguing discussion will come out of larger group interactions.
• Choose four favorite quotes and create a Character Trait Quote of the Week activity using the posters and the worksheets.
• Display all the quotes and ask students to vote on the character quotes they would like to explore. Use the corresponding worksheets.

In most cases, students can complete the worksheets without any additional resources. Periodically, the students will be asked to discuss the quote’s author (if it is applicable). In these cases, allow students to use reference materials (a computer, for example).

Please note that the top two boxes on each printable ask the students to reflect on the quote and apply it to their own lives. The bottom boxes are unique questions based on the quote given. These questions are designed to stir thinking and stimulate meaningful discussions.
