TLC- Self Confidence and Reframing

Journal: Describe a time when you said or did something that impacted someones self-concept. Good or Bad.

Good things

Lead the class with the opening statement of a strong self-concept leads to ............. (take answers)........... Self-Confidence. Without talking about self-confidence, have the students develop a skit to show it. The skit has two requirements: 1. Everyone is involved and 2. It needs to compare having self confidence with not having self confidence. Give 15 minutes for them to come up with a skit and then have them perform them in front of the class. When each skit is done, applaud and ask the class what the skit was trying to get across.

When all of the skits are done, have the students define and come up with characteristics of people that show self-confidence. Write the characteristics on the board.

Then ask the question, what hurts your self confidence? Give time for response. Then define reframing (turning a negative situation/experience into a positive one) for them and give a football and life example of where I had to reframe a negative experience. After the discussion, have the students develop another skit to show the use of reframing. Same requirements as above (everyone has to be involved and reframing has to be shown in both ways). After each skit have a discussion about how the skit showed reframing.

Assign the students to read and complete Lessons 8 and 9 for homework.

  1. 4 out of the 6 skits done about self-confidence involved someone else putting down another person so I went right into reframing and skipped the self-confidence characteristics. We will come back to self-confidence characteristics tomorrow. For their second skit, I had the students take their first skits and add the reframing portion to them. After the second skits, I had the students talk about a negative experience they have gone or are going through and talk about how they could reframe it.
