Scholars revisit the Circle of Life to examine positive character traits—mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional. Pupils discuss how those character traits could help them make responsible decisions and not contract HIV/AIDS. Learners get crafty by making a collage that features their goals in life. After sharing finished products, peers obtain a certificate of completion.

Instructional Ideas

  • Direct pupils to keep their collage in a safe place where they can view it frequently as a reminder to keep working towards their goals 
  • Invite class members to explain their collage to their parents or guardians during Parent-Teacher conferences
  • Invite the school's counselor to be part of the conversation about setting goals

Classroom Considerations

  • The final lesson in a series of seven encourages pupils to use their Circle of Life in making smart decisions
  • Collage materials and certificates require some preparation 

Pros

  • Develops social-emotional learning competencies—self-awareness and responsible decision making 
  • Collages give participants the opportunity to share their thoughts in a creative manner 
  • The lesson closes the unit on a positive note

Cons

  • None
