Instructional Ideas
- Ask class members to bring in a small box with the outside decorated with images of how they think others see them and the inside reflecting how they see themselves
- Have individuals select one of the self-reflection prompts to use as an exit ticket
- Laminate the adjective list to permit reuse
Classroom Considerations
- The lesson has the potential to make some participants uncomfortable; therefore, ask a member of the counseling staff to observe the lesson and take note of those pupils who list only negative adjectives
- The lesson asks instructors to share many details about themselves; preview the entire lesson to prepare responses to the prompts
- Requires copies of the adjectives list and the "What Kind of Person Am I?" worksheet
Pros
- Pupils consider how their traits can affect their personal and professional relationships
Cons
- None
