I think one aspect would be that it is a good way to make the students think. It would be good to have them figure out what it is that the believe in. A good way for them to learn about themselves. Another aspect would be it is a good way for you to learn about them, and how to relate to the individual student.

This most challenging part of this project to me was actually trying to come up with things that I believe in. I believe in so much, but trying to figure out what everything was, was challenging. Also trying to decide if I wanted to take one belief and expound on it, or doing multiple belief statements.

One suggestion that I would give is to have a prompt, or a sort of fill in the blank with extra help for younger students. Maybe giving them topics or something like that. For older students, I would say to give them a word limit, show them a lot of examples to get their minds thinking.
