Let’s Talk About It... The last time you wrote in your journal, you were to write about self-discipline and self-control. You were asked to consider areas that were hard for you to control. As a class, take a few minutes to share what you have discovered about yourself. Share what is the hardest for you to control. As a class, brainstorm ways that you can work on developing more self-control or self- discipline.

Shadow Selfs Briefing: In this activity you will make shadow shapes with a partner using a large sheet of paper. Activity: Find a partner. Partners take turns tracing each other’s shadow onto colored bulletin board paper. Shadow makers should strike a pose that shows them practicing self-discipline. This could be pretending to sit at a piano bench, swinging a baseball bat, etc. Cut out the shapes when they are drawn and arrange them in a creative, overlapping display of self-discipline.

Think About It... 1.Share your shadow selfs with the rest of the class. 2.How does your shadow relate to self-discipline? 3.How does having self-discipline or not having self- discipline affect other areas of your life? 4.How much self-discipline does it take to be successful? 5.Share ways you can become more self-disciplined.

Journal #26 Write about two different people. First, write about someone who has little self-control. Discuss what happens when he loses control. Consider who is affected by his lack of self-control and describe the results of his lack of self-discipline. Then, write about someone who has a lot of self- control. Compare and contrast their life, actions, and emotions with the person who has little self- control.
