Writing a Mission Statement - SEL Skills

In this 90 minute lesson students will build SEL skills by identifying emotions, exploring accurate self-perception, and recognizing strengths. They will use character cards to rank order traits that make them unique and answer a questionnaire designed to explore their personal strengths, identify admirable traits of others, and to set goals for their future. The lesson will culminate in the creation of a personal mission statement. The lesson is aligned to the Common Core Standards for ELA and to the Ohio State Content Standards for ELA.
