I like that your Minute Paper focused on something that the student has experienced in their lives. I need to integrate more of this into my human development course. I also liked the way you had them ask themselves the question then relate it to the text. I think it might be better to have them do this minute paper before the chapter is read so that it will not influence there answer. I think some students will read the chapter then come up with an experience that easily fits the text. I think separating the two allows them to have a more reflective experience.
I really like your thoughts about making it due before kids read the chapter because it will influence their decision.
I thought the cognitive dissonance mini-lesson was very effective at illustrating how we reconcile what we value with our actual behavior. I think this lesson could also be used in therapeutic interventions course. A number of treatments (e.g. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; ACT) integrate values work into their protocol so clients/patients learn how to live a meaningful life by letting their values guide their behavior.
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
Best Lesson on attitude
Our current political situation 2020 is a poster of cognitive dissonance. Democrats cannot understand why republicans think the way they do and republicans cannot understand why democrats think the way they do.
Great comparison. I have relatives up north and they just think we are redneck hillbillies and that our beliefs are just crazy, but I choose to just stay silent and hear their side .
A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you won’t get anywhere until you change it.
Life lessons on attitude
I think the lesson plan is great and can be used in many ways. I like some points others have made about asking questions early before the chapter was read to get an unbiased opinion. I like how it helps kids reflect on their own experiences and lives. That in turn can promote and/or demote attitudes and ideas.
