Activity Overview

Social awareness is the ability to understand things from other people’s point of view and feel empathy for others. It is also the ability to show respect for others and appreciate and embrace diversity. In the story Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller, a young girl ponders the meaning of kindness when a classmate spills juice and everyone laughs. She gives several examples of small and big ways that we can be kind to one another, and how little acts of kindness can go a long way. For this activity, students will complete a 3 cell storyboard that illustrates an act of kindness.
