Hello again!
I can’t believe I’m writing two lesson plans today. LOL

Word Focus: verbs (rescue, carry, water, change, paint, help)
Meaning Focus: what peace means
Thinking Focus: what being good means and how to deal with other people’s behavior

III. C. Introspect: GOOD vs BAD
Students will think of their personal habits and categorize them accordingly. The answers must be kept confidential. This activity is created for their own personal self-analysis.
