Practising gratitude
Last updated: 15/11/2023
Students prepare their ideas for writing a letter of gratitude, before writing their own letter to someone whose care or actions they appreciate. The resource includes prompt questions and a framework to help students structure their letter. This resource accompanies the article 'Why gratitude matters'. You can find the link to the Action for Happiness video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsIPXwr9BQE

I am using this resource with my son, who is home educated. It's a great idea but I'm appalled that a recently created resource would be so full of gender stereotyping and sexism.
