Warm-up and Objective Discussion

Show a picture of Stitch and ask everyone in the class whether they are familiar with
this character. When people see him, what is the first thing that springs up in their minds:
good?

Use interactive flash cards to go along using interactive whiteboard software. Students should
match the following words that rhyme with "good":

Should – Could – Would – Hood – Wood – Stood – Rod

Using past vocabulary about feelings, ask questions such, "Do you remember the story from
the time you was a child? What did this affect the way you feel about “good”? Did it change
your behavior?,...."

I had given them a video and transcript a week before, and they had been told to read the text
and listen to the video three times without doing anything else. Jessica Boerner, the speaker of
the video, gave the presentation titled "How to be a good human?" and at the end of the
session, students will have some opinions about what makes the difference between someone
who is good and someone who isn't, which they will be able to say in a 2-minute mini
presentation.

Instruct and Model  R  W  L  S

Find the "emotion words" in the script and highlight them on the interactive board in the
classroom. Then ask them to look up and point out some acts of a good human. Allow them to
categorize "emotions and actions" words on an excel sheet.

Pair students up for the speaking activity. Tell them to use the notes from the discussion, they
should tell each other about the way to become a good human.

Guided Practice  R  W  L  S
Choose a brief section of the film that demonstrates the path to being a good human being.
Write "conflicting behaviors" on the board and request them to take notes while listening. As
an example, write the following sentence:

Conflicting Behaviors

1. We say "Yes," but then shake our heads and say "No".

2.? (Students may add...)

3.? (Students may add...)

Then, motivate each student to discuss these notes. Pose questions to them. For instance:

"Which behavior you found most interesting?"

Independent Practice  R  W  L  S
Allow them to collect all of the information on the board and review it for a minute before
playing the portion of the video that shows photos of good human acts. Share the photos from
the video and request them to make their own notes for each photo while watching the video.

Assessment  R  W  L  S
The assessment will be done as homework. Request them to write down all of the notes we've
prepared together and put them into a 2-minute mini presentation that they will record at
home, publish to YouTube, and share the link with their peers on Google Sheet.
