Starting our Major Unit

Yesterday we started our unit with a discussion on Who are we and what do we want to be seen as?

(We listened to and viewed a great picture book called ‘A bad case of the Stripes’ by David Shannon)

Introducing the unit and gaining an understanding of what the term all is about.

We explored some thought provoking questions in a variety of ways, commenting and discussing. We used the thinking hats to extend what we had already come up with. The questions included:
  • How do other influence who we are?
  • How do we influence others?
  • How are we perceived?
  • Do we make a conscious choice about who we are?
  • Is image who we are?
  • Can we really be ourselves? Be the best we can be?
  • How do we have different roles?
  • Are we true to ourselves (integrity)
  • How do we stay true to ourselves in different situations?
