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 />

This activity helps to promote a student’s understanding of their positive characteristics.<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 />

Task - Using the DVD clip The Party as a discussion tool<br />

• generation<br />

• self esteem<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 />

Remember<br />

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. (Edith Wharton, author and poet).<br />

All the wonders you seek are within yourself. (Sir Thomas Brown, philosopher and religious writer)<br />

Victory belongs to the most persevering. (Napoleon)<br />
