Lesson Plan

Empathy in Action Lesson Plan

Help the student recognize how profanity, spitting, and disrespectful behavior affect others—especially his pregnant mother—by teaching self-control and empathy skills through modeling, role-play, and reflection.

Building empathy and self-regulation reduces disruptive behaviors, fosters healthier peer and family relationships, and supports the student’s emotional growth and respect for others.
