Journal: Why is it so difficult to undo a first impression?
Good Things
Materials: Body language ppt., Straw, masking tape, sissors
Lesson: Finish role plays that we started yesterday. After each role play have a discussion about what was seen both good and bad.
When the role plays and discussions are over, discuss the body language ppt and pose these questions:
What are the most important qualities of a leader or in someone you want to have a relationship with? (Kind, confident, knowledgable, honest, etc...)
If those qualities are internal, then why do we focus on the external qualities so much?...
The external qualities communicate the interal qualites!
Have the students fill out page 21 of their workbook.
With the remaing time in class, do a small group team building since we just switched seats.
Pass out a straw, a masking tape roll, and sicssors to each group. They only can use the materials given to make the tallest free standing tower. The tape can not be stuck to the surface of the table. The tower has to be free standing.
Tape cannot be rolled together to make a tall base. The straw has to be incuded in the base.
ReplyDeleteNew rules I found out after doing it based on the students designs and conversation.
