How This Quote of the Week Bell Ringer Resource Works:
Every week, introduce one of the 40 inspirational quotes or "wise words" to your students by displaying the slide on your projector as they enter the room. Students will use their bell-ringer response sheets to reflect on what the quote means and how it relates to their own lives and the world around them. After they have finished writing, use the responses as a way to launch a class discussion!
This is a great motivator for students, and many of the quotes teach students about healthy habits! You might also consider printing the slides as posters and set up a "Wise Words of the Week" bulletin board.
