What do you think of the result? Is it a true reflection of how you feel?
Express your opinion.
Now share your results with your group. Allow each person an opportunity to talk and listen carefully to one another. Share what the result was, and how you feel about it. Your educator will be assessing your ability to listen and show respect to one another during this part of the activity.

This activity allows learners to assess whether or not they manage well, being by themselves or not. Learners must answer questions and then plot the answers on a graph. Start by reading through the questions with the class. This part of the activity must be done individually. Learners may not talk or discuss answers, and they must answer each question. Once this part is complete, learners must plot their answers on the graph.
Then learners can read the explanations and see what the interpretation of their answers is. The next part of the activity asks them to express an opinion about the result: learners can comment on whether they agree or not and why.
Divide the class up into groups of four. In these groups, learners must share what their result was and whether or not they agree. Each member of the group must be given a chance to speak and the other members must show respect by listening and responding appropriately. Walk around and listen carefully as the groups work so that you can complete the Educator’s Assessment Chart.
