Natalie M says, “This was a really great twist to the usual New Year's Resolutions. My students are enjoying creating their "selfie". I am loving how different and creative each student has created their character. Thank you for this product."

Natasha J says, “This was well done! I needed something as an icebreaker for my 8th grade Honors ELA, and this was an easy decision to make. I am so glad I did. All I had to do was print, copy, and discuss. My students were able to express themselves and they loved it. All students were engaged. This had something for all students regardless of their artistic ability. Thank you!"
I do hope you have fun with this resource!
