EMPATHY SHOES
AN ENGLISH & CCE ACTIVITY
To have empathy for someone,
you need to be able to understand
and share the feelings of that person.
Become a more empathetic person!
Practice by imagining what a day
in the lives of strangers might be like.
This activity is based on several stories found in the November 2013 issue of What’s Up.
