This class will walk through the experiences of our favorite Madrigal family characters to develop and practice perspective-taking, empathy, and reflective skills. Using “Overcoming” and “Repair” as our main themes, we will understand the emotions and motivations of the characters and answer important questions like, “Why did grandma love the magic?”, “Why aren’t we talking about Bruno?”, and “How did Maribel turn her disappointments into purpose and strength?”. Students will also learn the social skills needed to repair and maintain relationships. This class is interactive with a combination of slides and discussion. Students who have not seen the movie are welcome, but viewing it will help them discuss the material. There will also be spoilers. Two brief video clips of the movie will be shown in class.
Learning Goals
1. Students will learn and utilize perspective-taking, empathy, and reflective skills.
2. Students will understand how emotions influence thoughts and behavior.
3. Students will learn concepts that help repair and maintain relationships.

The first video clip shown in class will be the scene where Maribel walks to the door to receive her gift, and the second is of Maribel and Abuela Alma reconciling in the river scene. These videos will be shown using screen-sharing.
