Part of Lesson Plan: Balancing work and Family Life

Activity Overview / Details

Put attached pictures up for everyone to see,

(See pictures attached at very bottom of the lesson.)

Class, look at this picture and write down how it makes you feel. There are 5 images total. Do they all make you feel the same? (teacher show each picture slowly and let students write down their feelings)

Can someone share how this picture made them feel? I am hearing stressed. Do most of you agree with this?

Do these people seemed balanced? Do they look like they have their time and energy managed wisely? This leads us into your next topic for this class, balancing work and family, while managing your time, money and energy  .

Can anyone in here share an example of when their life was perfectly balanced? Even if it was for a short period of time? Okay, now can someone share a time when their life was unbalanced?

Let's compare the two of these. What feelings are different between someone that is balanced and someone that is not?
