Instructional Ideas
- Instead of grouping learners by age—group by language proficiency, heterogeneously to encourage language development during a discussion
- Revisit lessons anytime your class is in need of behavior support
- Send a letter home to parents and guardians detailing the lessons' subjects, including ways they can extend the learning experience alongside talking points
Classroom Considerations
- The duration is the total amount of time it takes to complete all three lessons—complete each lesson on a single day or space them out over the course or two to three days
- Lessons were created for an all-girl audience; however, males can participate as well
- Be sensitive towards individuals who may not feel comfortable speaking openly or may feel sad
Pros
- Includes activities to extend the learning experience
- Lesson two provides a lasting visual reminder to be kind
