Empathy is the ability to identify with and understand people’s emotions—to feel what they feel. It is a precursor to compassion or when one actively tries to find solutions to help others. Empathy is linked with greater peer acceptance and positive relationships as students improve their prosocial behaviors (e.g., helping). In this lesson, students will think about how characters feel in a situation and role-play ways to show empathy and that they care

Model different ways to show empathy, such as asking follow-up questions to show interest, offering to listen to something they have to say, or providing encouragement. Reinforce that we can show we care by letting others feel their feelings and by being a good listener.
