Beginning/Ending of School Year

Students can write a letter to themselves at the beginning of the schoolyear as to their expectations of the course, a little bit about themselves and what they are doing or enjoying at the moment, and any more information about the present and future they may find appropriate. At the end of the schoolyear, the students can open their letters and read them, and then as a final assignment, write a letter to next year's class about what they enjoyed in the course and how much they changed as a result of the course.
