PURPOSE:
To have students design a web page and App for empathy
MATERIALS NEEDED:
For the leader: None
For each student or student group:☐ Construction paper☐ Pencil☐ Markers/colored pencils
PREPARATION:
Gather the necessary materials.
ACTIVITY:
If you choose to do the activity in groups, di-vide the students into groups of three or four.
Give each student or student group construction paper, markers and/or colored pencils, and a pencil(s). Then introduce the activity by saying:
Today you will design on paper a web page about empathy. Give your web page a title that relates to empathy. Include information like:
• The definition of empathy.• Tips on how to be more empathetic.• Words that relate to empathy.• Slogans.• A question and answer section.
You may also include pictures.
Think of what you have learned about em-pathy, and include it on your web page.
When you have finished designing your web page, design an empathy App that comple-ments your web page.
Have students share their completed web pag-es and Apps with the group/class. Display their projects.
CONCLUSION:
Say:
Today you made web pages and Apps to show what you think is important for others to know about empathy.
Then conclude the activity by asking:
Who had an original idea that no one else thought of?
Looking at the Apps that were designed, which ones catch your eye?
How could a web page like this be benefi-cial to others?

Why Teach Skills to Develop Resiliency?The June 1st , 2015, edition of Time Magazine has an article titled: Bounce Back. In the article, the author explored why some people rebound from set-backs and how the rest of us can develop more resiliency.
This reinforced my belief, that we as school counselors, can help students de-velop skills to be better able to rebound from setbacks.
Expert Tips for Resilience from TimeMagazine, June 1, 2015
1. Develop a core set of beliefs that nothing can shake2. Try to find meaning in whatever stressful or traumatic thing has happened3. Try to maintain a positive outlook4. Take cues from someone who is especially resilient5. Don’t run from things that scare you: face them6. Be quick to reach out for support when things go haywire7. Learn new things as often as you can8. Find an exercise regimen you’ll stick to9. Don’t beat yourself up or dwell on the past
10. Recognize what makes you uniquely strong and own it
