The children will verbalize at least five personal strengths and five personal weaknesses. Each child will then demonstrate ways to use his or her personal strengths to help others, likewise receiving help from classmates in areas of personal weakness. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the fifth lesson in the 1st year “Self-Awareness” unit.
