Lesson Plan

Pay It Forward

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Centered around a film about giving to others freely, this plan incorporates collaborative work, discussion, and kindness. A still from the film starts off the plan as well as the prediction process. Class members then watch the film and talk about the message of the film and the idea of paying it forward. Pupils watch a second short video and come up with five ways they would like to pay it forward. The lesson closes with an examination of famous quotes about kindness.
