Use this opening slide to set expectations. Introduce the purpose: exploring empathy through real-life examples. Tell students they will define empathy and discuss scenarios.

Ask students: “What does empathy mean?” Record their ideas aloud, then share the definition.

Present this scenario to the whole class. Have students turn and talk with a partner, then share answers.

Encourage groups to write down their ideas on a sticky note or whiteboard.

Remind students to listen to each other’s ideas respectfully.

Ask students to think about times they felt upset and what helped them.
