Introduce the lesson by welcoming the students and explaining the importance of creating an inclusive environment. Emphasize the goal: Every student deserves to feel valued. Outline the activities they will engage in over the next hour.

Start the activity with a circle discussion. Invite students to discuss personal experiences of feeling included or excluded. Encourage deep reflections by asking follow-up questions from the provided prompts.

Transition into the brainstorming activity. Remind students that every idea is valuable. Engage them by asking them to identify practical ways to create more inclusivity in their school or community.

Explain the role-playing exercise. Provide clear instructions on forming pairs and practicing responses to exclusionary behaviors. Emphasize reflection after each scenario to discuss effective strategies.

Conclude the session by summarizing key learnings. Reinforce the importance of empathy, respect, and taking action to include everyone. Invite students to share one takeaway from the exercise.
