1.1: Individual ability


In this activity students explore the notion that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses which make each one a unique individual.

Tasks

  2. Ask students to complete the handout.
  3. After the activity, ask the students to discuss what they found confusing and how they felt.
  4. As a follow up, ask students to create two lists of things they are "good at doing" and "not good at doing" e.g. reading, swimming, cooking, following instructions etc.
  5. In pairs or small groups, ask students to compare and contrast their individual strengths and weaknesses.
  6. Conclude the activity by explaining that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses which make them unique individuals.
