Now that we’ve practiced by talking about the skills that people in particular professions have, it’s time to think about the skills that each of us has learned from the activities that we’ve done in our lives. These skills are very valuable because they can be transferable to other parts of our lives.
For example, if you play an organized sport like basketball, you may have developed skills such as:
- learning to work as a part of a team
- getting along with others
- listening to your coach
- hand-eye coordination
- perseverance
- determination
- memorizing plays
You may also have learned some skills from having a pet. These might include:
- empathy
- taking care of another creature’s needs such as feeding or walking
- being gentle
- being loving
- responsibility
You have definitely learned a bunch of skills from being in school! What are they?
For this project you will first compile a very long list of skills (between 20 and 40) you have learned from the activities that you do in your life. After you create your list, you’ll:
- use large paper provided in the classroom
- do a small self portrait or photograph on the page
- include the title, “I’ve Got Skills”
- name and illustrate at least 20 of your personal skills, more is better
- centre the skills around several activities that you do regularly
- make your work colourful and easy to read (legible)
- look at it from a distance to see how you can improve it!”
- think, “Wow, I already know so much even though I’m only __ years old.”
- do your best work, as always!
