About This Lesson
Dear Teachers and Families,
The Great Thanksgiving Listen is back!
Each year, this initiative comes to life because of your commitment to bringing meaningful conversations into classrooms and homes across the country. The Great Listen is a national movement that encourages young people—and people of all ages—to record an interview with an elder, mentor,
friend, or loved one. Together, we’re helping students build essential skills in active listening, communication, and empathy.
To make it as easy as possible for you and your students, we’ve created a toolkit with everything they need to help them interview someone special and record meaningful conversations, whether virtually or in person.
