Scrapbook Project 3: Do you know who I am? Do I know who you are?

Instructions for Working with a Partner

3. Do you know who I am? Do I know who you are?
30 minutes.

This works best as a sharing exercise. To complete the exercise, you show the next two pages you create to your partner. If you are not comfortable with this, you can do it alone.

I Think My Partner Values:

Turn the page. Paste (or write) the I think my partner values heading at the top of the left hand page.

Choose 4 – 6 media items which illustrate the values you think your partner has. Paste or stick these into your scrapbook. You can also make drawings to illustrate the values. DO NOT write words to describe the values at this stage.

My Partner Thinks I Value:

Turn the page. (Leave the previous right hand page blank for now). Paste (or write) the My partner thinks I value heading at the top of the left hand page.

Instructions for Sharing:

1. Give your scrapbook to your partner.
2. Respect your partner’s scrapbook. Do not look at any page except the blank one in front of you.
3. Take your partner’s favourite coloured crayon. (If you are not sure of your partner’s favourite colour, guess).
4. List the values you illustrated in your own scrapbook. Draw a heart, smiley face or other positive icon next to the values you believe your partner has which are the same as yours, or which you have positive feelings about.
5. Hand the scrapbook back to your partner.

Instructions for Working Alone

1. Ask your partner to give you your favourite coloured crayon. (Do not tell them what your favourite colour is or comment on their selection).
2. Ask your partner to tell you three things they think you value. DO NOT answer them or comment on their statements.
3. List the values your partner told you. Draw a heart, smiley face or other positive icon next to the values which are ones you have.

What Have I Learnt?

Turn back one page. Paste (or write) the What have I learnt heading at the top of the right hand page.

1. Read the list of values your partner believes you have. Pay attention to where the positive icons are.
   
   If you are not sharing, skip 2 and 3 and go to number 4.
   
   
2. Show your partner the I think my partner values page. Explain how the media or pictures you used relate to the values you wrote.
3. Discuss your partner’s perception of your values. TAKE TURNS to talk about each other’s values.
   
   You may like to show your partner your work and personal values from pages 2 and 3.
   Remember: Values are personal and private, and people do not always communicate the same way.
   DO NOT: put down, ridicule, dismiss or minimise.
   DO: Be surprised, be enlightened, ask for clarification.
   
   
4. Under the what have I learnt heading, record what you have learnt about your partner’s perception of you.
5. Now record what you have learnt about your partner.
6. Use pictures or media to illustrate 5 and 6 if you want to.
