Blurb for teachers why needed – what does it look like – pitfalls kids experience

Written activity/Journaling to be held in a quiet space wherever students feel comfortable, instrumental music optional to allow for reflection

• What do I notice in others?

• What do I think people notice about me?

• Whom do I seek approval from? Why?

• What do I want people to think of me?

Parallels:

• What seems to be important to me?
•  What differs between how I see myself and how I think others see me?
• Do I need to examine my perception?
• Are there changes I need to make to be the person I would like to be?

Voicing ideas and opinions in share circle is always optional, when trust and confidentiality within the group (including the teacher) has been established,
