Encourage your class to experience gratitude. In order to do so, discuss what your pupils are grateful for and show them a short film about gratitude. The class watches the video a couple of times before responding to a quotation taken from the film and examining the different perspectives presented in the video. For homework, individuals write compositions about what they are grateful for.
