This What Color is Your Apple? lesson plan also includes:
Build your classroom community with an activity that uses apples to examine oneself and their classmates. Participants draw four large apples on blank paper then exchange them within a small group. Group members write a character trait that describes the recipient. Learners reflect on the words their peers gave them then state whether or not they agree or were surprised. Pupils finish the lesson with a written list of traits they wish to develop.
