Roots Quiz - Today

Finish PPT and Discuss J1
EQ: Are these colors true for you? Where do you see these traits come out in your life?

True Colors Part 2
EQ: How do your colors interact with those of your teachers and classmates?

Do you think it is more beneficial to have a teacher whose colors match yours or whose colors balance yours?

The second part of this concept is that we can think about the people we are learning with in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. If we know each other better, then we can value them and communicate better. Even teachers are part of that consideration.

Hopefully you were honest in your self-assessment when you completed the True Colors questionnaire.

True Colors Part 1

Psalm 139: 13-14 tells it best.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

EQ: So what do these colors mean?

Journal #1: True Colors
As we go through the power point, take notes on three things:

What words or ideas from your top color describe your personal strengths and weaknesses?

Considering your traits, record five examples of how you've seen your true colors manifest in your life circumstances...story time!
