Take a close look at homelessness with your learners.  In this character development lesson, young artists draw a large pair of sunglasses, adding their family and pictures representing their belongings and values on the left lens, and a similar picture representing a homeless family on the right lens. Compare and contrast the types of families represented. Extend the lesson by discussing why people are homeless and how to react when you meet homeless people.
