Life Skills - Term 3 - Week 6

Assessment is the process of evaluating our own actions and choices. Reflection helps us think about what we have learned and how we can improve. In this lesson, we will discuss how to assess our behaviors and choices in different situations, and how reflecting on these can help us make better decisions in the future.

Imagine you are at a party with many snacks available. Some are healthy, like fruit and nuts, while others are not, like chips and candy. Let's assess which snacks are healthier. We can reflect on how choosing fruit instead of chips makes us feel better and gives us more energy. This is a good example of making a healthy choice.

In pairs, discuss a time when you showed respect to someone or when someone showed respect to you. Share your stories with the class. After sharing, reflect on how respectful behavior made you feel. Why is it important to treat others with respect? This discussion will help us understand the impact of our actions on others.

Now that we have discussed assessment and reflection, think about one area in your life where you would like to improve. Write down a small goal you want to achieve in the next week. It could be about being more respectful to your classmates or making healthier snack choices. Share your goal with a partner and discuss how you plan to achieve it.
