About This Lesson
Activity 1: NOTECARD ACTIVITY (RECOMMENDED FOR GRADES 3-6)
This is a fantastic activity while students are settling into a class – short and thoughtful. It focuses on the two-way nature of mentorship; just as Dumbledore mentored Harry, so Harry mentored the students in Dumbledore’s Army. After the activity, you can use the notecards as a display in the classroom or organization, or, with consent, post them to the #TeachMeYouDid website.
Activity 2: FOR YOUNGER JEDIS: LETTER-DRAWING
In this activity, students will draw a picture of a time they were mentored, then decorate it by making a frame.
Activity 3: FOR YOUNGER JEDIS: ODE-A TO YODA
In this activity, students will write a structured “ode” to a teacher or mentor who inspired them. In Yoda-speak, it can be!
Activity 4: FOR YOUNGER JEDIS: BUILDING A #TEACHMEYOUDID BOOK
In this activity, students will make an 8-page booklet out of a single piece of paper by following along, slowly, as a class, with a YouTube video. Then, they will fill the booklet with a story about someone who inspired them.
