On a scale of 1-3 (1 is not important, 2 is important, and 3 is very important), how important do you think it is to have work/life balance?
Did the level of importance change since completing the Xello lesson? If so, how?

Example:

I used to think having work/life balance was (not important, important, very important).

Now I think having work/life balance is (not important, important, very important).

If your thinking changed, what do you think caused this?

At the end of the lesson, have students revisit and share their answers to the inquiry prompts you posed at the beginning of class. Inquiry prompt examples:

What do you think work/life balance means?
Is work/life balance important to you?
What does a balanced lifestyle look like to you?
What roles and responsibilities are you balancing right now in your life?
What roles and responsibilities do you think you'll have to balance as you get older?
Why do you think many people struggle with work/life balance?

Classroom discussion strategy:

I used to think: Now I think: Encourage students to share how important they think having work/life balance is. Students can use a scale from 1-3 to rate importance. A rating of 1 equals not important, a rating of 2 equals important, and a rating of 3 equals very important.

Ask students if their thoughts about the importance of having work/life balance have changed or stayed the same since completing the Xello lesson. Example: I used to think knowing work/life balance was important (a rating of 2) but now I think it is very important (a rating of 3).

If their rating has changed, what do they think caused this change in thinking? If their rating has stayed the same, why?
