Rose, Thorn, Bud is one my favorite check ins. You can use this when asking students to talk about their week(end), about that last quiz or exam, or even use it for peer feedback on a project or presentation.

What's different about "Rose, Thorn, Bud" is that last part of reflecting on hope and future growth! If you would like a worksheet
