=== '''Launch: Strawberry Plants and Human Behavior''' === | |||
'''Introduction:''' | |||
Strawberries are fascinating plants. They spread by sending out runners, creating new plants that take root in nearby soil. Like strawberries, humans often grow and expand by connecting to new opportunities, relationships, and places. But what happens when a strawberry plant sends its runner to poor soil, or when it struggles to establish new roots? Let’s explore how strawberry plants can teach us about human behavior and growth. | |||
---- | |||
=== '''Scenario for Students:''' === | |||
Imagine you’re like a strawberry plant, and the runners you send out are your actions, habits, and relationships. Sometimes, they find rich soil, and you grow strong and healthy. Other times, they might land in rocky ground, making it harder to thrive. What choices can you make to ensure you grow in the best way possible? | |||
---- | |||
=== '''Socratic Questions:''' === | |||
# '''What’s more important for growth: where your “runner” lands, or how much care you give it?''' a. The place matters most, because good soil gives the best chance to thrive. b. Care matters most, because you can improve almost any situation with enough effort. | |||
# '''If your runner lands in poor soil, what should you do?''' a. Stay and try to enrich the soil by working hard to make it better. b. Move the runner to a new spot where there’s better soil and resources. | |||
# '''When spreading your runners (building habits or relationships), what should you focus on?''' a. Reaching as far as possible to find new opportunities. b. Strengthening your current roots before expanding further. | |||
----'''Debrief Ideas:''' | |||
* Discuss how strawberry plants are strategic in where they grow and what this can teach us about finding good environments. | |||
* Share examples of when students “sent out runners” (tried something new) and succeeded or struggled to grow. | |||
* Challenge students to think about how they can both “find better soil” and “improve the soil” around them in their lives. | |||
Would you like adjustments or examples tailored to a specific type of behavior? | |||
