Monique Hall, 5th Grade, Devonshire Elementary
Synopsis
In this unit, student focus will be on character development/education. When students are self-aware, they begin to develop an understanding, how they see themselves may be different from how others see them. Students who are self-aware also recognize their strengths and their challenges. Self-awareness helps students build self-esteem and speak up for what they need. By focusing on the qualities that are distinctive to young Black Girls, self-awareness will be optimized.
