Introduce the lesson with enthusiasm. Explain that today, we are exploring creativity and self-expression through 'The Dot'. Emphasize that every great idea starts small.

Guide a discussion about the concept of a small dot representing a beginning. Ask open-ended questions to involve all students.

Read the designated excerpt aloud. Encourage students to reflect on their feelings and relate the narrative events to their experiences.

Explain the art activity clearly. Emphasize that the goal is to see where a simple dot can take their creativity. Encourage risk-taking and an open mind.
