Free Empathy Essay Prompt & Planning Page | Grades 9–12

Can empathy be learned? How can we show it through our actions?

This free, two-page printable resource invites high school students to explore those questions in a 5–7 paragraph essay. Students develop a clear thesis, consider another person’s perspective, and support their ideas with at least two credible sources, in-text citations, and a Works Cited page.

The download includes the complete writing prompt and a planning page with space for a thesis, examples, perspective, and sources. It works well for high school English, homeschool lessons, tutoring, or independent writing practice.
