1. Greetings: Comment ça va? Quoi de neuf? (around the circle)
2. InterPlay: Warm-up and Walk-Stop-Run
3. Journal (10 minutes): Raconte un moment d’apprentissage où tu te sentais très bien, que ce soit à l’école, à la maison, ou aux champs. Donne beaucoup de détails.

   4. Comment est-ce que c’était?
4. With a partner: Tell each other your story (tell, don’t read it)

   1. One partnership is A, one is B
   2. In each partnership, one person is #1, the other is #2 
   3. Determine what your letter/number is (A1, A2, B1, B2)

      2. Continue with A1, A2, and B1
      3. Teachers circulate during discussion
6. Whole-group discussion (popcorn if possible): Quelles étaient les émotions dans ces moments d’apprentissage? … d’autres détails sur les situations — qui était là, etc.?
   1. Write down notes on white board
7. Pense maintenant à un moment où tu as le CONTRAIRE de cette expérience — un moment  d’échec. (Prends des notes dans ton journal si tu veux.) You won’t have to share the actual experience, just the emotions.
8. Whole-group discussion: Quelles étaient les émotions dans ces moments d’échec?
   1. Write notes on white board and contrast with the other—positive—experiences.
   2. What’s different?

   2. Read first construct to yourself and when finished, put hand on head
      1. Write down notes on white board
   3. Read second construct, then put finger on your nose

10. Take a moment to write down in your journal who might be someone in your life who represents strength in each of these three constructs (can be yourself)
11. Stand up and repeat after me: Je suis intelligente! Je suis capable! Je peux réussir!
    1. Then give yourself a hug to say thank you. Change which arm is on top—thank you again. Then thank you around the circle.
12. At door: Shake my hand and tell me something that you either liked today, or which you found interesting.
