When covering important topics it is essential for all students to understand common terminology so that everyone is on the same page with content. This helps facilitate more in depth classroom discussion and allows students to have the vocabulary they need to express themselves. At times, terms on self esteem can be confusing and easy to mix up. In this activity, students will create a spider map defining and illustrating vocabulary for self esteem. Students should be encouraged to define terms in their own words. Other activities will refer back to these terms.
Someone with a positive self concept likes who they are and tends to make decisions to better themselves based on the high value of self.
Someone with a negative self concept is unhappy with who they are and tends to make more destructive decisions based on a poor value of self.
Self esteem reflects the attitudes you have about yourself, positive or negative.
Self concept is the idea you have of yourself and behaviors.
The ideal self is the person who one wants to be.
Self worth is how much value you put behind yourself.
Self talk is when someone thinks or says out loud something to motivate themselves.
