Challenging Assumptions SEL Lesson | Perspective-Taking & Empathy
Help students look beyond first impressions with this engaging, no-prep SEL lesson inspired by Tangled.

Through guided discussion, interactive activities, and opportunities for reflection, students explore how assumptions can affect relationships and learn the importance of getting to know others beyond what they initially see or believe.
