🎁 Generous Gratitude Exchange Kickoff

Effective Communication Academic Mindset

Students create a small handmade gratitude token (mini card or paper symbol) and exchange it with a classmate, explaining how it connects to Thanksgiving traditions or personal gratitude. Introduce the Essential Question and the week’s goal of designing meaningful gratitude art based on real people’s experiences. Students identify at least two potential real users (family member, peer, school staff) they can interview about Thanksgiving and gratitude.
