Taking Apart Computers
In this activity, we divided the girls into pairs and gave each pair a computer and some screw drivers. After explaining what some important parts of the computer did and what they looked like, the girls took apart the computers and found the parts. They continued to explore the insides of the computer and discovered many other interesting parts. They didn't have to put the computers back together, so they could break them. Many girls took home computer parts.Body Image Activity: Tracing
We continued our conversation on body image by having the girls trace each other on large sheets of butcher paper. Then they wrote about what they thought of each part of their body, making sure to include both negative and positive opinions. Next, the girls rewrote their thoughts, this time only including positive opinions of their bodies. At the end, we all talked about one part of our body that we like.
