The _Chouette, pas chouette_ series focuses heavily on social and emotional learning. The characters refer to the process of understanding others and managing emotions.
The pedagogical booklet proposes several objectives: to develop a critical mind, to understand the principles of freedom and equality such as the freedom of choice as well as the equality in regards to genders without forgetting the respect of others and the acceptance of differences.
After each episode, this pedagogical tool suggests to always have the students verbalize the story and initiate a discussion to make sure they have understood it in order to start from a common base.
The proposed learning scenarios also encourage argument and critical judgment through simple moral dilemmas, examples of prejudice and reflections on justice and injustice. Students will be introduced to a culture of moral judgment through debate, argumentation, reasoned questioning, etc., and then develop the ability to express personal views, feelings, opinions, critical thinking, and formulate and justify judgments. Feel comfortable making adaptations to the proposed activities in order to meet the learning needs of the targeted clientele.
