In class, we listened to a presentation on emotional development. Emotional development has some major components to it when we think of the students. These include self awareness, social awareness, self management, peer relationships, and responsible decision making.
One thing that we discussed to help students build self esteem and develop emotionally is the self portrait. This self portrait consists of a silhouette of the student where they write out things that they like about themselves on it. Then, the whole class gets a chance to go around and add to the positive comments that you made about yourself. This is a great activity to do in class that I see myself using in the classroom to help build self esteem esp. for middle schoolers.
