This is a set of five lessons that help students identify their personality type, value personality differences, and develop respect for personal preferences. Students will use this lesson in conjunction with taking the personality quiz at knowandlove.com. This lesson will give students practice talking about the differences and preferences of fellow classmates appropriately and respectfully.
1. IDENTITY LESSON: Understand and explore your own personality.
2. DIFFERENCES LESSON: We all have different preferences, likes, and dislikes and we can talk about differences in a respectful way. By modeling conversations and asking questions in a curious, respectful way, we can learn about others.
4. IDENTIFYING DIFFERENCES LESSON: Understanding different examples of why diverse personalities are needed.
5. TAKING ACTION LESSON: What to say when you hear someone make a hurtful comment.
This lesson includes:
•Suggested scripting
•Independent reflection activities: printable worksheets
