This Back to School Activity, Personal Coat of Arms, is a visual arts and simple writing project to be done in the first week of the new school year. This Coat of Arms project allows students to reflect on who they are, on who they want to be, and set short & long term goals. This activity could easily serve as a pre-thinking/pre-writing exercise for a more formal first assessment write for the beginning of the school year.
The final product is a student poster that is wonderful for a bulletin board display.
Included in this package are extensive teacher directions, student samples, and a variety of coat of arms templates. No prep involved.
This activity is also available as part of our “Back to School Bundle” which includes 10 terrific first week activities as a Survival Kit. This is project is part of a large bundle of activities which may be purchased at a significant discount. Go to:
