Closing and Assessment

Remind students that they reviewed the words empathy and respect in this and the previous lesson.
Incorporate reflection on and awareness of the following academic mindset: “I belong in this community.”
Ask:
“How do empathy and respect help you feel a sense of belonging in this classroom community?” (Possible response: When my classmates listen to me and show they understand my feelings, I feel like I have a safe place in this classroom.)
”Why is it important that each of us feels we belong in this community?” (Possible response: We can’t learn if we don’t feel safe and comfortable.)
