Finding My Voice: A Storybook SEL Lesson Inspired by Mulan
Help your students discover the power of their voice with this engaging, hands-on Storybook SEL lesson inspired by Mulan. This lesson teaches self-advocacy in a way that is meaningful, age-appropriate, and easy for students to apply in real-life situations.
Students will explore what it means to speak up for themselves with confidence and respect, even when it feels uncomfortable. Through guided discussion and interactive activities, they will learn how to express their feelings, communicate their needs, and make clear, respectful requests.
At the heart of this lesson is the “Voice Armor” activity, where students build their own self-advocacy statement using the structured sentence frame: I feel… I need… I would like…
This hands-on approach helps students practice using their voice in a safe and supportive environment while building a skill they can carry into the classroom, friendships, and beyond.
Perfect for school counselors, classroom teachers, and SEL instruction, this lesson promotes confidence, communication skills, and self-awareness, empowering students to recognize their worth and advocate for themselves with clarity and courage.
