  4. How Identity Forms • Role Model- someone whose success or behavior serves as an example for you. • YOUR identity will change throughout your life as your interests change. Eventually you will develop a clear sense of your own values, interests, beliefs, occupational goals, and relationship expectations.

  5. Aspects of Identity • Personality- A complex set of characteristics that makes YOU unique. • Your personality sets you apart from other people and determines how you will react in certain situations. • Some of us have loud personalities, others are quiet, and sometimes we are in the middle of both.

  6. The Importance of Good Character • Character- the distinctive qualities that describe how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. • Good character is an outward expression of inner values and is a vital part of healthy identity. • Who are some people with good character? Name some individuals with bad character?

  7. Traits of Good Character • Trustworthiness- You are honest, loyal, and reliable • Respect- Considerate of others and accept their differences • Responsibility- You use self control, you think before you act and consider the consequences. • Fairness- You play by the rules, take turns, and share.

  8. Continued • Caring- A caring person is kind and compassionate. • Citizenship- Demonstrating good citizenship means you advocate for a safe and healthy environment at school and your community.

  9. Working Toward a Positive Identity • Recognize you strengths and weaknesses • Demonstrate Positive Values • Develop a Purpose in your life • Form meaningful relationships • Avoid unhealthful high-risk behaviors • Contribute to the community

  10. Have your terms of character changed? • Feel free to share with the class if any of your terms of character have changed since the beginning of this presentation.

  11. Lets see your acting skills!! • Group yourselves up into 4 or 5 (depending on class size) • I will assign you a trait of character from the Character Counts model • You must then create a short skit where that trait is modeled effectively. Don’t be afraid to have funny skits (they must be appropriate!) Everyone in your group must be involved some way.
