Introduce the concept of self-perception vs. external perception. Mention that how we see ourselves can be different from how others see us and this difference can tell us a lot about our social interactions and self-understanding.

Display a visual that represents the idea of a mirror reflecting an image. Encourage students to consider the unique aspects of their own identity.

Invite discussion on common experiences where self-perception and external feedback differ. Prompt with questions about influence of social media, peers, and family.

Summarize the discussion points and provide reflective questions for students to write in their journals later.
