With My Own Hands: Personal Agency

In this lesson, students will reflect on their personal agency. They will begin by defining agency and recognizing which choices they have power over in their lives. They will consider what is within their internal and external circles of control, how to make mindful choices, and how to adjust if they notice themselves off course. Students will also understand how taking care of themselves helps them make the best possible choices. At the end of the lesson, they will read incomplete stories and choose their own endings for the characters.
