Free Empathy Activity | A Perspective Shift

Help high school students practice looking beyond first impressions. In this free, one-page activity, students consider a classmate who misses a group deadline and becomes unusually quiet. They separate what they know from what they assume, explore possible perspectives, and plan a response that is both empathetic and responsible.

Use it for independent writing, a small-group discussion, or a classroom conversation. The printable PDF includes generous writing space and takes approximately 15–20 minutes.
