Check-In: Iconic Reflection Walk
This paired exercise invites students to translate their second observation day into visual symbols and deepen understanding through a moving dialogue.
-
Icon Selection (5 min):
Spread out the worksheet of diverse icons. Individually choose five symbols—positive or negative—that best capture moments from your second observation day (surprises, joys, challenges, or questions).
-
Partner Sharing (5 min):
Pair up and take turns explaining your five icons: why you chose each one and what it reveals about your experience.
-
Dialogue Walk (10 min):
Together, walk slowly around the outdoor space or campus path. Continue your conversation, reflecting on how your partner’s icons resonate with or differ from your own insights.
-
Group Snapshot (5 min):
Reconvene briefly to name one shared theme or question that emerged from your walk, noting how walking side by side shifted your conversation.
Cultural & Contextual Sensitivity:
Everyone’s icon choices and reflections are shaped by different backgrounds and experiences. Honour each person’s story, listen with curiosity, and maintain a pace and setting that feels safe and inclusive for all.
