3.1 Read About Social Responsibility
3.1I Random Acts of Kindness
This lesson features text (video, article, list) that helps us to answer: How can we contribute to community?
In the lesson, you will use reading strategies (Take a PEEK, Turn It Into a Question) to learn about Random Acts of Kindness and the ripple effect.
Think of a time when you saw an act of kindness, experienced kindness, or at time when you showed someone else kindness. If possible, chat about the following questions with a home facilitator / family member:
- What was the act of kindness?
- Who was involved?
- Where were you?
- Why was this act kind?
The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has the slogan “Help Turn the World Kind”. What does this mean?
