This unit helps 7th-grade students explore essential social skills—such as trust, cooperation, communication, and responsible decision-making—through interactive scenarios, reflective discussions, and a simplified version of the Prisoner’s Dilemma game. Grounded in positive psychology and embodied cognition principles, the unit emphasizes how our choices affect both ourselves and our communities. This unit will consist of 3 sessions, each 40 minutes long.
