The self-esteem quilt is made up of two parts: HIGH self-esteem and LOW self-esteem. The lesson begins with a story (i.e. Loretta Ace Pinky Scout) that highlights the differences between the two.
After a class discussion, I have students draw what high self-esteem looks like at school and what low self-esteem looks like at school. We discuss key words that go along with these pictures and add those to our quilt.
The purpose of this lesson is to help students recognize how both high and low self-esteem impact the school environment and therefore, the level of student success.
