Introduce yourself and the lesson. Explain that today they’ll learn about their support network and create a visual map. Relate to times they've needed help.

Define support network. Use everyday examples (like homework help, listening when sad). Ask students: 'Who helps you when you're stuck on homework?'

Read the list slowly. Ask for suggestions: 'Can you think of someone in the community who helps you?'

Demonstrate quickly on the board: draw a small circle for 'Me' and concentric rings. Emphasize neatness but it's okay to be creative.

Give examples and encourage students to think of at least two names per ring. Circulate to support.

Prompt students to use their journals. Provide sentence starters if needed: 'It felt ___ when ___ helped me.'

Guide sharing circle. Remind students of respectful listening. After pairs, invite a few shares with the whole group.
