In our new BC Ed Plan there is a strong component of self assessment and reflection for students, so I'm always on the hunt for new ways to bring it authentically into my classroom. Enter Disney! I love using Pixar and Disney shorts to teach with- they are perfect mini lessons, the kids are engaged, and are participating in authentic tasks and building a literacy that is relevant to them. So when I saw "Inner Workings", which can be viewed on the Moana DVD, I was thrilled to see how I could use this for student reflection and assessment in my classrooms! I created a worksheet (inspired by Kelsey's work with the Core Competencies) where students were asked to think of an event in their life where their head and heart were in a battle. "I can have a healthy life by balancing work and play!" Students may comment on any or all of the competencies in describing the situation. One of my primary hopes for the next few years is that students have a lot of opportunities to experience the core competencies and see how they are naturally a part of life- that they can be cultivated out of authentic and meaningful experiences. Feel free to get the worksheet here- free!
