Teacher instructions: In this activity, students get the opportunity to write a letter to themselves in the future. They get to decide how far in the future they are writing. Give each student a planning sheet (range of templates below) where they can jot down their ideas. It may be necessary to discuss that this task is about exploring how to believe in themselves and so having a growth mindset and being positive about their future will allow them to get the most out of the activity.

Students can choose to write their letter on paper, a google doc or record themselves a message for the future. Students could also write their letter online and it will be delivered to their inbox at the time in the future that they chose.

Purpose of activity: This activity allows students time to consider what they want from their future. The idea is that they set out goals for themselves for their future and then believe in themselves to make it happen.
