Instructional Ideas
- Spotlight the differences of families—everyone's is special in their way—invite pupils to share what their family looks like
- Visit the library to find books that showcase different families, read-aloud one or two as time permits
- Create a family-themed bulletin board—direct class members to draw a picture or bring in a photo of their family and show it to their peers during the discussion
Classroom Considerations
- This is the final part of a two-lesson series about emotions
- If puppets are not available, make two out of socks or small paper bags
- Posters look best printed in color
- Although the lesson is intended to be used by a school counselor, a classroom teacher can also conduct it
Pros
- The lesson brings light to the importance of playing a positive role in one's family
- Provides plenty of speaking and listening practice
Cons
- Thirty minutes of discussion may be too long for some learners, take brain breaks and encourage movement to regain focus
