Instructional Ideas

  • Write down pupils responses in Part 1, display answers during the lesson as a friendly reminder of what is gratitude
  • Challenge early finishers to locate additional quotes about gratitude
  • Send a letter home explaining to parents and guardians the lesson's objective and ways they can aid in the learning process 

Classroom Considerations

  • The duration reflects the time it takes to complete the lesson portion of the resource; the service-learning project will take additional time
  • Lesson parts will require modifications depending on the grade level you teach

Pros

  • Offers two different videos picked for specific grade level spans
  • Encourages completing future gratitude-themed projects

Cons

  • None
