This PPT demonstrates to us why Empathy is important , it more importantly helps us understand how others feel & calls us to respond appropriately to the situation. It includes tasks that challenges students to think critically & explore the topic in depth .

EMPATHY is when you try to understand another’s feelings … it’s putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. SYMPATHY on the other hand is being supportive to another by reaching your hand out in assistance & love . This POWERPOINT is a complete lesson explaining both Empathy & Sympathy through pictures & texts . It highlights each of these feelings & draws on the differences between each . Just to be clear the meanings of Empathy and Sympathy are drawn out from the students themselves and so that is why there is no definition or difference mentioned in the resource.The students will come to the definition and difference themselves. I have actually used this resource in my class and it worked out well .
