 Beginning/Engagement: -Guiding question: Do you think that people’s actions affect other people?
How?
Do you think that a group of people’s actions can affect people all around the
world? (such as voting an official to run a country can affect the country, but
also on a global scale)
What are the ways in which we can affect people negatively or positively?

-Introduce the activity: have students read aloud the passage in their religion
textbooks
Middle: Split students into groups of 3. They may choose their own partners. Each group
will have 1 chromebook. On the smartboard there will be a list of scenarios that
each group can choose from, each group must do a different scenario.

Each group will then discuss how to solve the problem and create a positive
outcome. They will write down the solution in the form of a script (not long), and
present their chosen scenario along with the script that they have written, in the
form of a concise theatrical. Once presented, ask the classmates watching,
what the positive solution was, and how it impacted the students in that
scenario. Ask about how the students feel when they see something like that
happen (give it a name: anger, sad, etc), and why they feel that way.

Collect any rough drafts of skits for the next day if we do not have enough
time.
Wrap-up: Read the passage on page 38 aloud after all groups are finished presenting.
Explain to the students that the greatest gift that God gives us is the ability to
love, and that, in giving out that love to one another (be it a friend, family
member, or another person), you can get others to pass it on to spread that
positivity and kindness.

End by stating that, “One act of random kindness can change someone’s life.”

Challenge the students: for one month, track one act of random kindness.
