In this activity, the learners discuss and illustrate what it means to show respect for their personal identity, values, and emotions.
The learner will:
- identify personal traits and values that represent who they are.
- express appreciation and respect for themselves.
Anticipatory Set:
Ask what they know about the movie "Inside Out" (Pixar and Disney production). This movie takes place inside a girl's head and shows the importance of respecting your emotions and understanding yourself.
Talk about what it means to show respect for who you are and what you value.
On a piece of paper, each learner draws an outline of a body and decorates and labels it with traits of their identity and self-expression. You may take the time to facilitate this Identity Self-Portrait activity.
Allow 15 minutes to create their identity poster. Display their drawings around the room to set up a gallery walk. They may look for unique descriptions and positive traits they share or aspire to.
Have a group discussion to identify traits that exhibit self-respect. Discuss "positive self-talk" and good habits of exercise and health. Topics may include eating well, standing up for yourself, getting enough sleep/exercise, grooming hair/teeth/nails, regular visits to doctors (including dentists and optometrists) and dressing to express oneself. Discourage any self-criticism.
Exit ticket: Write a sentence expressing gratitude and respect for yourself and your identity.
