What is Empathy?
Discussion of "What is Empathy?"
I created this thought map to give myself the opportunity to both visually and verbally contemplate the intricacies in the language we use to define connection. This exercise was valuable for me, but would probably not be ideal for a high schooler searching for a concrete, usable definition of empathy at the beginning of To Kill a Mockingbird. A similar exercise at the unit's conclusion, however, in which students parse out the differences in unique but interrelated terms might be interesting for learners.
