This lesson plan aims to help students understand their own identity and values by creating a personal mission statement. It involves practicing think-pair-share exercises and sharing one's mission statement with others in the community to foster support. The debriefing portion is important for students to make meaning and learn from each other. Creating a concise 1-3 sentence mission statement can guide students and inform others about what they value in a way that represents them honestly. The lesson encourages personalizing the plan and preparing for facilitating the identity exploration with residents.
