Life Skills - Term 2 - Week 8

Assessment and reflection are important skills that help us understand our strengths and areas for improvement. Assessment involves looking at our actions and decisions, while reflection is thinking about what we have learned from those experiences. In life skills, these processes help us make better choices and behave respectfully towards others.

Imagine you are at a party with many snacks available. You see chips, candy, and fruit. If you assess your choices, you might think about how each snack affects your health. Reflecting on this, you could decide that choosing fruit is a healthier option. This example shows how assessment and reflection can guide us to make better decisions.

In small groups, discuss a situation where someone showed respectful behavior. Each group will share their scenario with the class. After sharing, reflect on how that behavior made you feel and how it affected others. This practice helps us recognize the importance of respect in our interactions.

Think about something you want to improve in your life, whether it's being more respectful to others or making healthier food choices. Write down your goal and the steps you will take to achieve it. Reflect on why this goal is important to you and how you will assess your progress over time.
