Identify Desired Results/Learning Outcome/Essential Question:
- Students will become active participants in their community by collecting can foods from
neighbors of the school. As a result of this lesson, students will be able to better
understand that not all children, or people in general, have enough food to get them
through the week. Students will be able to understand that it is important to speak up if
you need help. Students will gain these understandings by figuratively giving their
favorite food to a friend who may not have any food. This will be done through a drawing
exercise.
- Students will be able to answer the questions: How do you know when to help a friend?
What can you do to help someone who doesnt have enough food? When is it right to
break a promise?
