Points will be taken off for sentences. Use sentences in your essay. EACH WINDOW DESCRIBEDI. Open WindowThe open window has information that we knowabout ourselves and that those around us know about us as well. a. We know things about ourselves that those close to us will know as wellb. Those we interact with most often will know moreabout us. So generally, you can ask others questions that are confirmatory in nature; for example, you may say/ask: I am impatient, do you agree with me on this?) If the person says no, then you continue until you find agreement: information known to both of you.II. The Blind Window The blind window will contain information that YOUDON’T KNOW.
Very often we interact with others but we don’t know what they see in us/about us that may be revealing something about us to them. a. A question you can ask others is: “CAN YOU TELL ME ACHARACTERISTIC OR PERSONALITY TRAIT I HAVE, AND THAT YOU THINK I DON’T KNOW?”b. Usually, you will get several responses. Select what best suits you. III. The Hidden WindowThe hidden window contains the information that we know about ourselves but that we consider to be private, and therefore we do not want to show/share. a. Usually, we don’t share personal characteristics that we possess, especially when we don’t find them flattering. So, sometimes others are surprised when we reveal these things to them. b. But we grow from revealing and releasing these “secret” characters because they are no longer secrets and we must work on them or to learn from them.c. The Unknown WindowThe unknown window remains unknown. However, because you don’t know this information does not mean it doesn’t exist. It simply means you are not in touch with it. a. This window remains blank.B. PART TWO: THE ESSAY OF THE ABOVE ACTIVITYa. In addition to the WINDOW, you will write an ESSAYas part of the Window project. b.
