Who I Am: Self-Concept and Strengths
Recognize likes, strengths, things being learned and changes in skills in short examples. These ideas support talking about yourself. The quiz checks recognition; personal self-description needs a separate conversation.
What a learner can do afterwards
- Recognize a personal like and select a self-description that matches the details given.
- Distinguish a strength from an interest or something still being learned, and recognize an explicit statement of pride.
- Recognize a before-and-after change in a skill and select a supported first attempt at a new activity.

You can tell someone about yourself. You might share your name, people in your family, things you like or dislike, and things you find hard. These details help describe you.
A strength is something you do well. You can have a strength and still need help with another thing. Liking an activity does not mean you can do it well yet. Feeling proud means feeling pleased about something you have done. You might feel proud of a skill you have learned.
Mia says, 'I like making puzzles. Loud noises bother me. I can zip my coat, and I feel proud of that. Buttons are still tricky.' Your answer about yourself can be different from Mia's or a friend's. Choose details that fit you.
Learning can take time. Some things stay hard, and you can ask for help. If you want to try a new activity, start with a small part and ask for help. You do not have to do it well at first. If you cannot name a strength yet, someone who knows you can help you think of one.
You have strengths, things you're learning, and ways you've grown.

A strength and something tricky
Eli sorts the crayons by colour. Eli does that well. Closing the crayon box is tricky, so Eli asks for help. Sorting can be a strength while closing the box is something to learn. You can talk about something you do well and something you need help with.
What changed?
Last month, Jo needed help to open a lunch box. Today, Jo opens it without help. Jo says, 'I learned to open it.' That is one change Jo can notice. Think of a skill you have practised. What can you do now? If you still need help with it, you can say that too.
