Small moments can shape how we see ourselves, the people around us, and the choices we make.

This 6-page high school reflection activity helps students think about the adults who influence them, the lessons they learn from both words and actions, and how seemingly small moments can become part of something much larger.
Students begin by reflecting on two adults in their own lives and considering what those adults say, what they do, how they guide or correct, and what lessons they may want to carry forward—or leave behind.

The activity also introduces Atticus Finch’s example-based approach to parenting:
Demonstrate → Observe → Guide → Correct
Students are then encouraged to watch for small moments throughout To Kill a Mockingbird, including Boo Radley’s quiet interactions with Scout and Jem, and consider how those moments build meaning over time.

Includes:

• Example concept web
• Two blank student reflection webs
• Atticus and leading-by-example reflection
• “Moments Build on Moments” reading connection
• Boo Radley pre-reading observation activity
• 8 open-ended reflection questions
• Final reading lens for To Kill a Mockingbird
