Class Summary - We finished up an ice breaker activity at the beginning of class. Today we talked about self esteem. I asked the students to answer the questions on the mimio and discuss briefly (what is self esteem, why is it important etc). I also had the students list their own strengths and weaknesses and do a personal assessment activity and also discuss what is important to them. Then I passed out the handouts for compliment sheets. Students are supposed to write a compliment about each student in the class. I emphasized that even if they don’t particularly like someone they still should be able to find something good about them. This will be graded based on thought. I will collect the sheets next class period. This also helps me get to know each student better. Copies of the class sheets can be found on STI.
Homework: Compliment Sheets
Objectives: Students will find the good in their classmates. Students will assess their own strengths and weaknesses.
