Community Puzzle

JMU's LEAD Consultants and Kijiji Student Leaders discuss modeling community through their strengths and weaknesses as large team through Build Our House activity!

Building Our House, Part 2 -
We have a foundation (the stronger the foundation the stronger the house), a chimney (does it have smoke billowing or no?), windows (maybe a few or maybe a lot), a door (double doors, single door, small or large?), and a lovely tree.

Today we will fill in the structure of the house: In the foundation, write your strength, each person has many strengths and they may not always be apparent to others. Along the sidewalls of the house, write the names of at least two of the strongest influences in your life (i.e. people that gibe or have given you support.) and on the roof, write something that you are proud of. (can be person accomplishment like a marathon or how you handled a situation).

A Biology teacher used the Community Puzzle to have students draw what pieces of learning they were getting from his class.
