Here is Personalizing Learning Activity #73: The Questions in the Shadows. Tiffany Poirier outlines this PL activity in her blog and points out that it could be used at any grade level. She concludes her lesson by reflecting why this activity is part of personalizing learning.
"HOW THIS ACTIVITY IS A PART OF PERSONALIZING LEARNING:
Students are invited to use their intrapersonal intelligence, to be introspective and to analyze the content of their own minds. This is a valuable metacognitive task in and of itself, and students may also find turning focus inward in this way to be personally validating. Discussing and sharing with others in this personal way within the context of a safe classroom atmosphere can build a community where individual ideas are valued. This is a great activity to begin the school year with as it lets the teacher get to know what questions matter to students and therefore helps to better personalize choices about units of study."
