Personal Inventory—Review the six habits of mind with the class. After the review, break the class up into groups of 3-5. Pass out a handout of the six habits of mind or project it onto the screen in class. 

  • Have each group review the six habits again to make sure everyone in the group generally understands each habit.
  • Have each individual do a personal inventory, indicating which habits they consider to be a personal weakness or strength.
  • Have each group, aggregate the individual results and develop a summary of the group's strengths and weaknesses according to the six habits of mind.
  • Pull that classroom back together to discuss the results.
  • At the end of the activity, remind the class that you will be talking about each of the six habits in greater detail throughout the semester.
