Slide 1 (2 minutes) Greet the student warmly. Introduce the session: “Welcome to Empathy Explorer! Today we’ll learn how to understand how others feel and show respect in just 15 minutes.” Point out the steps: storytelling, role-play, and reflection. Set the timer.

Slide 2 (2 minutes) Ask: “What does it feel like when someone really understands you?” Listen to their answer. Define key terms: “Empathy is putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. Respect is treating others kindly, even when they’re different.”

Slide 3 (7 minutes) Hand over the prompt cards. Let the student pick one card. Read the scenario out loud. Guide them to answer both questions. Encourage full sentences and details about emotions, tone, or actions.

Slide 4 (4 minutes) Choose one scenario from the cards again. Assign roles: student is the caring friend; you play the character in need. Model one example, then let them try. Offer feedback on their tone of voice, facial expression, and words.

Slide 5 (2 minutes) Give the student the reflection worksheet. Ask them to write or draw: one thing they learned about feelings, one respectful action, and when they’ll use empathy today. Celebrate their ideas.

Wrap up (under 1 minute) Praise their effort: “You did a great job understanding feelings and showing respect!” Encourage them to notice moments today when they can use what they practiced. End on a positive note.
