Introduction – Conceptualization
Link to Previous Learning and Background Knowledge
To get the students excited, the class will discuss/recall what Malala kindness
(and determination) has done in her life to change the lives of girls in her
country.
I will also have them go to www.malala.org and read her brief story of her life.

as they practice.
List specific strategies you will use to support student learning.
Bridge- The teacher will talk about how little acts of kindness can have a huge
impact!
Graphic organizer- (Idea web) Have the students brainstorm an act of kindness
that they have received or committed (or an act they could do) and complete an
idea web.
Sentence strips- Use sentence strips or sentence starters to write a paragraph
about an act of kindness.

C. Beyond (Application/Enrichment/Follow-up)
Independent Practice: What do students do independently to reinforce
their learning?

Students should recognize that even the simplest act of kindness can positively
impact someone else’s life (and their own).
