2-Hour Workshop
Using a house as a symbol, students will be guided through an exercise of self-reflection and creative activity. With poster paper and markers provided, students will have the opportunity to illustrate what makes them who they are - from their values and accomplishments to their goals and interests. Students will then share their reflective illustration with other students in small groups. A debriefing activity allows students to consider their similarities and differences and how the recognition of these similarities and differences can positively impact the ways in which they interact with others.
