  • Join to access all included materials

Help your learners discover empathy and understanding by investigating two sides of a situation. In this humanities lesson plan, pupils examine different pairs of shoes and hypothesize about who may have worn them. Discuss real life situations and sympathize with people who defend both sides of an argument by having individuals stand on sets of footprints and summarize varying points of view. This can be applied to literary points of view or simply to foster compassion in any classroom.
