Give students many opportunities to see how visuals can influence a story's meaning. Show off your acting skills and read a great book to help them learn!

In this lesson, students will practice empathy through learning the "just like me" mindfulness practice.

Use this lesson plan as an introductory activity to kick-off a short, project-based learning unit where students will research black visionaries and share what they learned.
