Developing Understanding of the Concept of Belonging

Learning journal

Occasionally in class, in the last five minutes, reflect on what you learnt about belonging in the lesson. Consider:
· What you understand belonging to mean
· What you have learnt about belonging from the written and visual texts you studies in class and in your own time
· Personal positive and negative experiences that relate to belonging
· How studying belonging has changed your perspective of yourself and your world.
