Some classroom activities teach English.

Others become memories.

Who Will You Become? is a meaningful beginning-of-the-year writing activity that students won't forget.

At the start of the school year, students write a letter to the person they hope to become.

They reflect on who they are today, what they dream about, what they want to improve, and the goals they want to achieve.

The letter is sealed inside an envelope...

...and opened during the last week of school.

It's a beautiful opportunity for students to celebrate how much they've grown—not only academically, but personally.

What's Included?

✨ Reflection questions to help students develop meaningful ideas before writing.

✍️ A writing template for their letter to their future self.

💌 Printable envelope covers and envelope seals to create a classroom time capsule.
