Lesson Plan

Walking in Their Shoes Plan

Students will strengthen empathy by analyzing real-life scenarios, role-playing diverse perspectives, and reflecting on emotional experiences. Actionable goals: identify emotions, articulate another’s viewpoint, and apply compassionate responses.

Building empathy enhances communication, strengthens relationships, and equips students to navigate complex social situations with understanding and compassion.
