New Year’s Resolutions Blog Post Writing Activity (Grade 5-8 Language)

This Grade 5-8 New Year’s Resolutions Blog Post Writing Activity allows students to set goals for the new year. It is a perfect activity for back to school after the winter holiday break. Students will learn about what a resolution is, reflect on the previous year, and write a resolution (including 3 ways they can work towards their resolution and why it is important to them).

Students will imagine they run a blog with over 1000 followers. They will be asked to write a blog post about their New Year’s resolution in order to inspire their readers to create a resolution too.

This resource does not state the current year, so it can be used for New Year’s for years to come!
