This twelve-session resource, designed for teachers of seventh and eighth graders, contains useful information and engaging activities on the theme of personal growth. Reflections encourage students to see themselves in a positive way by reflecting on how God views humanity. Each session incorporates students’ experiences and connects the realities of growth and the beliefs of the Catholic Church. Many of the sessions incorporate scriptural passages.
Session titles include the following: Identifying the Real Me; Becoming an Adolescent; Knowing and Expressing Feelings; Developing Quality Relationships; Becoming My Best Self; and Sharing My Goodness.
Students are given opportunities for personal reflection through poem or lyric writing, illustrating, and other creative forms of expression. In addition, students take part in discussions and prayer.
