PART ONE

1. Watch this short video, and then in 1-1

PART ONE

1. Watch this short video, and then in 1-1.5 pages, follow directions below.
a. Tell about a time someone failed to empathize with you. What was your situation? What did this person say or do (perhaps in the name of being helpful) that resulted in more disconnection than connection?
b. Write about a time when someone empathized with you. How did you feel when that happened?
c. Finally, write about a time when you failed to empathize well with someone you cared about. How might you move forward when you face a similar situation again?
PART 2
Before you watch this 8-minute TEDx Talk, read these empty claims:
Doug was a principled man.
Doug and the speaker (Kim Toms) were a lot alike.
She missed him a lot when he died.
Some people who tried to comfort Kim helped and others did not.

1. Copy these claims into your paper, and for each one, jot down two sensory images from the video. Full sentences not required–just a few words for each image.
EX: “Doug and Kim were a lot alike: ‘matching red suitcases; cart of burritos and Oreos’.
2. Write one or two sentences on the impact of these empty claims versus the same claims supported with sensory data. In other words, how do sensory details and active verbs enhance writing and/or understanding?
PART 3
1. Empathy is all about connection. Though benefits of greater connection in your personal life might seem obvious, what are possible benefits of greater connection in the workplace or school? Please write a short paragraph.
