SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (45 minutes–1 hour)
Welcome students and when they are seated, ask them to respond with one-word “first-reaction” thoughts as you call out certain phrases. These are the phrases for you to call out:
People who are homeless
People who are poor
People living in a 3rd-world country
People who receive government assistance
Say: Did you notice that I didn’t say “Homeless people” or “poor people”? Why do you think I said “People who are homeless” and “People who are poor”?
Explain:
This may sound like just semantics, but there is a significant difference. We are all human beings. We are all people. Some people are poor or homeless. Stating it the way I did emphasizes the person first, and the economic condition second.
Today we are going to start out by collecting food for persons who are less fortunate than we are.
Divide into groups of 4-5 with an adult is in each group. Pass out a trash bag to each group. Send the groups out into community to collect canned goods or other non-perishable items to be given to a homeless shelter or a local food pantry.
