 Students explore their own needs and personal sources of strength and reflect on what contributes to their well-being.

Content and methods: The worksheet uses a needs table in which students first identify their own sources of strength and then assess how well their needs are currently being met. They then identify the needs with the lowest scores, choose suitable self-care strategies, and develop concrete next steps. An audio example, an overview of different self-care strategies, and a buddy agreement support reflection and help students put their ideas into practice in everyday life.

Skills:

• identify personal needs and sources of strength
• reflect on their own well-being
• choose appropriate self-care strategies
• plan concrete steps for action
• make conscious use of support from others

Target group and level: Suitable for secondary school students, particularly for developing self-reflection, health awareness, and social-emotional skills.

The primary learning objective is advancing English reading comprehension, enhancing reading fluency on sentence and short paragraph levels, expanding thematic vocabulary, and developing written response skills in English for primary and lower secondary learners.

Contents and Methods: The worksheet combines a short, connected thematic reading passage with subsequent open-ended text comprehension questions. Methodologically, learners read clear, structured declarative sentences focused on everyday social interaction, empathy, and friendship. They then verify and deepen their reading comprehension by formulating concise written answers in English to targeted open questions regarding key details, central messages, and cause-and-effect relationships in the text.

Competencies:

• Reading & Decoding Skills (English): fluent reading, reliable decoding of simple connected sentences, and structural understanding of basic English texts
• Reading Comprehension & Text Analysis: extracting explicit details, identifying central themes, and understanding simple cause-and-effect relationships

This worksheet aims to raise students’ awareness of the mechanisms, economic dimensions, and psychological strategies of modern digital marketing in everyday life.

Content and Methods: The material focuses on the economic significance of social media marketing based on statistical data, as well as the analysis of specific digital posts. Methodologically, the worksheet relies on a combination of practical case studies—in which an exemplary social media post is deconstructed both textually and statistically—and theoretical insights into behavioral economic effects. In addition, the material encourages multi-perspective discussion through reflective writing assignments and the comparison of contrasting stakeholder perspectives. Finally, the discussion of complex issues is used to synthesize what has been learned into the formation of independent judgments.

Analytical and Deconstructive Competence: The ability to systematically examine media content and linguistic and statistical devices for their manipulative or promotional effects

Reflective and Critical Thinking Competence: The ability to critically examine one’s own consumer behavior and evaluate economic phenomena from different perspectives

Target Audience and Level: 9th/10th grade

This worksheet aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of social attitudes by defining their structural components and analyzing their psychological functions based on Daniel Katz’s functional theory. Students learn to identify how attitudes help individuals navigate social environments, express identity, and maintain self-esteem.

Content and methods:

The worksheet employs a multi-step pedagogical approach, starting with a realistic class chat scenario to prompt initial reflection. It then uses structured multiple-choice tasks to clarify the cognitive, affective, and conative components of attitudes. Finally, the material introduces Katz’s four functions (adaptive, value-expressive, knowledge, and ego-defensive) through a social media-style infographic, requiring students to apply these concepts by categorizing the classmates' statements and reflecting on their own perspectives.

Competencies:

• Definition and differentiation of the structural components of attitudes (ABC-model)
• Analytical application of Katz’s functional theory to real-life scenarios
• Self-reflection and perspective-taking within social contexts
• Critical evaluation of the changeability of attitudes based on their underlying functions
