Description
Here we have two GATE social-emotional lessons promoting self-understanding, cultural relevancy, and leadership. These lessons correspond to the National Association for Gifted Children’s programming standards 1.1, 3.3, and 3.5.
Does your school district/state require gifted learners to complete an Advanced Learning Plan? These activities will help provide background as students make plans and set goals for the aspects of their lives they value the most. File these activities away, add them to a portfolio, or use them as lively discussion topics or fun presentations. Bring them out as vehicles for purposeful dialogue during parent conferences, or send them home with students to share with family.
Because of the open-ended nature of these responses, these lessons are appropriate for grades 3-8.
Identity and self-understanding: If I had Only One Thing
If you had just one thing for the rest of your life, what would that thing be? In this hands-on lesson, students think about themselves and the things dearest to them and how their needs and values may change over time. But not so fast! We’re not leaving the “if I had only one thing” question wide open. We want students to be creative within parameters. We want them to think metaphorically. We want them to have to struggle a little bit to make their ideas fit a symbol . . . and that’s why we will offer only a few things to choose from.
2 to 6 hours depending on how presentations are made.
Leadership and Cultural Relevance: I am Yup’ik
This portion of the lesson is based on an endearing 17 minute long movie about a small town basketball team from rural Alaska. This movie is not included in the download but may be found online—free of charge on Youtube at the time of this publication. “I am Yup’ik” one of those best sorts of films because the content takes us into so many themes: pride, community, resourcefulness, respect, survival. We will examine the movie for all of these aspects, but for our GATE socio-emotional lesson, we look at leadership and a culturally relevant curriculum. In and of itself, “I am Yup’ik is a beautiful and inspiring film.
At least 90 minutes.
