relationships and well-being.  \n• Explore various terminologies to deeply understand the meaning of gratitude.  \nA. Begin with a Mindful Practice  \nInvite students to take a short mindful break. At a calm pace, leaving some room inbetween statements for students to breathe and observe, read out the statements below.  \n*You may also choose to share an alternative guided mindfulness practice of your own preference.  \n• Let’s begin by taking a short mindful moment.  \n• First, find a comfortable seat in your chair. Place your feet flat on the ground. Rest your hands on your lap.  \n• If it feels comfortable, you can close your eyes. If not, just look softly down towards your desk or table.  \n• Now, just begin by noticing how your body feels sitting here.  \n• No need to do anything but notice what you feel.  \n• Turn your attention to your breath for a few moments.  \n• At your own pace take three deep breaths in through your nose and slowly out through your mouth.  \n• Before we start our lesson today, reflect for a moment on someone important in your life.  \n• Perhaps bring someone who you feel grateful for… someone who supports you or has helped you solve a problem.  \n• Now, if you like, set an intention for today… maybe to be kind, curious or have gratitude. Choose an intention that best speaks to the attitude you’d like to have today.  \n• When you are ready, you can open your eyes  \nB. Understanding Key Terms  \nLet the class know that, today, we’ll be exploring gratitude and how it can enhance our relationships and well-being.  \nFirst, access students’ prior understanding of what gratitude, healthy relationship and well-being are. As a class begin with brainstorming by using the following questions:  \n• What is gratitude? What does it look and sound like?  \n• What is a healthy relationship? What does it look and sound like?  \n• What is well-being? What does it look and sound like?  \nNext, define the terms gratitude, healthy relationship and well-being as a class. Allow students to come up with a common definition of each term, in their own word","cbCaicxucOMqb0Go","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicxucOMqb0Go","pdf",756062,"English","# Purpose\n# Objectives\n# Skills and Materials\n# Investigate and Learn\n## Learning Goals\n## A.
