1.1.1. The following activity is taken from Taylor & Marienau's (2016) strategy found on pages 92 - 93. The trainer starts with the question, "How many people are in this room?" Afte learners respond, the trainer answers, "There are many more." They then continue:"Recall the messages about yourselves as learners that are still with you and the people and situations you associate with them." [After a pause...] "With a piece of scratch paper and a writing tool, draw a picture of the person you envisioned. But there's a catch, you must do it with your non-dominant hand." "Here's an example of my own." [Trainer shows] "Now, you try." [Learners draw.] [After some time...] "Consider who you drew. Do they represent a positive voice or a negative voice? If they're positive, set their picture by you today as you work. If they are negative, crumple up the picture and toss it aside." "Join your breakout room and discuss who you drew and what they meant to you. Also, what you can do to generate a postive mindset for today's learning?" [Breakout sessions happen] [Learners return and share some of their final take-aways]
