Teacher Notes<br />
In this section, students are guided through several activities to help them see the strengths<br />
and qualities they already possess, and to picture themselves as having personal power and<br />
some control over their lives. The focus is on self-worth.<br />
This activity is linked to The Party clip in the accompanying DVD, Clips <strong>for</strong> Kids.<br />
Extensions of this activity might be to turn the storyboard into an animation sequence or use<br />
other available digital media to tell the story.<br />
Introduction - Using the DVD clip The Party<br />
Preview the clip be<strong>for</strong>e showing it to the class. The key message is ‘Value yourself’.<br />
Hands task<br />

Encourage students to use warm and friendly framing of feedback in this game and emphasise that the strengths<br />
can be traits such as cheerfulness and loyalty as well as sporting abilities and suchlike. You will need A4 blank<br />
paper and textas.<br />
Note: This activity is also the Take Home Activity <strong>for</strong> this whole Unit.<br />
Super strength super hero task<br />
This activity helps students play with the idea of their strength in a humorous way so that they can own it without<br />
being too self-conscious. You will need copies of the storyboard template. You may need a few copies per student<br />
so they can make mistakes and try a few things out.<br />
You might want to show your class the movie The Incredibles.<br />

Introductory focus questions<br />
How big is your family? (Defining a concept)<br />
What is one thing you have taught another member of your family in the past week? (Reframing experience)<br />
Do you notice any patterns in this story? (Open ended question to promote discussion)<br />
Students may want to reference various ‘reality television’ competitions in their discussion. The Cake Contest<br />
episode provides a useful structure to provide an alternative viewpoint to some of the outcomes held up as<br />
successful by these shows.<br />
