This activity is a follow up to the self reflection activity. In this one, students will create visuals showing how they’ll improve or maintain the areas of wellness they identified in the previous activity. Have students copy their previous story. They’ll be keeping only their pie chart and deleting all the art in the following ones. Students will also be adding a fourth cell to this story. The three empty cells will allow each student to visualize how they’ll be improving their wellness.
By completing this exercise, students will have visualizations of what they should do, which is often the first step in goal setting. Students can look back on this storyboard at a later date to see if they've followed through with their plan and whether or not it's helping.

Student Instructions
Use the storyboard from your last assignment and create visuals showing how you’ll improve low levels of wellness.
Encourage students to check in on their wellness regularly by starting each week with a brief discussion or written reflection. Consistent check-ins help build self-awareness and show students that wellness is a priority in your classroom.
Share your own simple wellness goals with the class to create a safe space for students to open up. Modeling vulnerability makes it easier for students to talk about their own goals and challenges.
Pair students to exchange and discuss their wellness storyboards. Peer feedback can inspire new ideas and provide encouragement, making the process more collaborative and supportive.
Create a dedicated bulletin board or digital display for students to showcase their wellness storyboards. Visible reminders keep wellness goals top of mind and celebrate progress together as a class.
Schedule monthly or quarterly sessions for students to revisit their storyboards and reflect on their growth. Regular reflection helps students recognize improvements and adjust their plans as needed.
A wellness storyboard activity helps students visually plan how to improve or maintain different areas of their personal wellness. By creating visuals and labeling each section, students set clear goals and track their progress over time.
Encourage students to copy their previous wellness storyboard, keep only the pie chart in the first cell, and add three new cells. In each new cell, students create a visual plan for improving specific areas of wellness they've identified as needing growth.
Visualizing wellness goals helps students clarify their intentions, set actionable steps, and stay motivated. It also enables them to reflect later on their progress and success in improving their well-being.
Common areas of wellness include physical health, emotional well-being, social connections, and intellectual growth. Students can choose areas most relevant to their own wellness needs for their storyboard activity.
The best structure is to have students reflect on their wellness, use a pie chart to identify strengths and weaknesses, then create visuals showing how they plan to improve three specific areas. This approach is engaging and supports goal-setting skills.
