This framework will be shared with you in Google Classroom

• 15 minute time line is flexible - don’t rush

If you had to explain last year, your 2024 with One Word, what might that word be?

​

My Examples follow - then you’ll get two minutes of quiet, thinking time

11

• Covid Lockdowns (sort of) ended.
• We were back to “in-person” learning.
• Gyms, hockey rinks were open for me again!

​

I’d sum up 2021 with the word FREEDOM

12

• School was, pretty much, back to normal.
• My writing got so much better.
• I spent more time at the gym and played hockey throughout the autumn.
• I updated and refreshed some lesson ideas.�I’d sum up 2022 with the word CREATIVITY

13

• I tried so many new recipes that were a hit with my wife and friends.
• I dealt with a frustrating foot injury and inability to exercise.
• I kept writing and creating (music, lessons).

I’d sum up 2023 with the word PATIENCE

14

• I traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate my friend’s 60th birthday.
• I traveled to England and Scotland to see family and explore.
• I walked more – hiking regularly with my wife.
• I continued to create - blogs, music, recipes, lessons.

I’d sum up 2023 with the word Wander

15

Task Two

16

• Take a look at these Motivational Posters (or research your own).
• You will need to choose one you like (one that “speaks to you”.)
• Task Three
• When you are ready, go to the Padlet that has been shared in Google Classroom
• Put you name in the heading
• Add a picture of your quote...or type it out.
• With one sentence, explain why that quote is motivational or meaningful for you. Try this sentence starter: “This quote reminds me that…”
• Use my example to guide you

​

18

This quote reminds me that I should take chances, because taking chances is the way that you can make your life extraordinary.

Here are some prompts to think about...

• What do I need or want this year?
• What gets in my way?
• What do I need to focus on?
• Is there anything I want this year that I have never had before?
• Or something I’d like to do that I’ve never done before?

• Today, you will pick your #OneWord for 2025.
• Reflect on the ideas you’ve explored over the past few days.
• Start with a simple word and use this thesaurus to find a synonym that fits more perfectly.
• You can also search #OneWord examples for inspiration
• Here is the #OneWord21 work, the #OneWord22 work #OneWord23 & #OneWord24 choices
• Optional Task 5 - flip through these One Word Posters. Which are the best?
• If you want to decide without influence, it is okay not to flip through these many choices.

​

• We are going to use the website Canva and Google Draw to create our #OneWord Posters. This is the link to mine.
• Be sure you are accessing our Canva Education Class - use this account, it has more features than the Free one.
• Task 6 - You’ll select a background and edit it to include your #OneWord25 and your name.
• Then, download it and move it to our slide deck for printing - no gifs
• Evaluation here.

Place the word #OneWord25 or #OneWord2025 on your Poster

Put your name on it. I forgot and added mine on the Google Slide after. (Subtle is best)

Think about the font choice, colour, size and placement of your #OneWord (Theme)

Consider your background image with the theme with your #OneWord in mind.

• Share a few paragraphs about your #OneWord choice and how you will use it to guide you through 2024
• After you have edited it with Google Tools, place it on our Collaborative Classroom Slide Deck with your Snow Globe Shapegram (shared in Google Classroom) containing your #OneWord
• See Mr. Hodgkinson’s Example for his #OneWord25 is here
