One Sided Sid is another Unthinkable whose super power is to make you ONLY think about yourself, talk about yourself, your preferred topics etc. He doesn't like to think or wonder about others. However, he can be defeated by learning how to be a social detective and build people files! Naturally he and Topic Twister get along and are considered friends. All year we have been building people files during our daily morning greeting routine. This is simple listening practice that involves tossing a bean bag to each other quietly, looking at them and listening as they share something they are grateful for and how they are feeling at the moment. We used an app called Popplet to make our own personal file to share. Once these were shared for 3-4 days we added post its to a person about what we learned or know about each other. |
