Part 4: Lesson Plan: Holes, Self-Confidence

Self-confidence: Bullies often find victims with low self-confidence and they themselves usually have low self-confidence or are experiencing problems at home. At Camp Green Lake, Stanley leans how to be more self-confident. How does this transformation happen?

Objectives: To discuss how it is important to have self-confidence and to help students build self-confidence by exchanging compliments.

Directions:
1. Discuss why it is important to have self-confidence.

2. Have the students get into a large circle. Go around and have each student (teacher included) tell their neighbor something nice about that person. Make sure they go beyond materialistic and physical attributes—the goal is to focus on personality. Also make sure that the students are giving their neighbor these compliments (as opposed to looking at the teacher and telling them).

3. After going around once, go around in the opposite direction and give a compliment to their other neighbor.

4. Ask the students how they felt about giving and receiving compliments.
