Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use this video and other interview videos in our “Making a Difference” focus area as part of a jigsaw activity with different groups of students watching different videos. What characteristics of positive character do they see in the video? What do they believe they can take away from the video and use in their own lives as they think about how they interact with their peers and others in their community? Have each group create a presentation and share with the class.
- Have students learn about and discuss initiatives in their own community that help people in other countries. What is student reaction to those projects? Would they choose to be involved? Why or why not?
