Time Lesson 1: Procedures/Task Actions Materials/Equipment
1-2
min Business + Attendance. Take attendance.
Attendance sheet and
writing utensil
3-5
min Opening Reflection. Ask Ss to journal about their experiences in restaurants and grocery
stores in the US since their arrival. Encourage Ss to reflect on what
has gone well, what has been difficult and why they think that is.
Extra scratch paper
and writing utensils
40-45
min Going Out to Eat. Tell Ss we will be watching a video clip (vc) and assign each student
a character in the vc to pay special attention to. Make sure every
character is covered.
Play vc once after having asked Ss to write down what actions their
character is trying to accomplish in the clip (i.e. Are they trying to
order? Are they trying to take an order?)
Play vc twice more after asking Ss to try to write down their
characters’ lines as close to word for word as possible.
Instruct Ss to get into groups with all other Ss responsible for that
same character and compare scripted lines.
Put Ss in new groups, with one person for each character per group,
and allow them time to organize their scripts (i.e. who says what
when). Suggest Ss number their lines and/or write the last word of
the line before theirs so they know their cues. Give them time to
practice in groups.
Have a volunteer group or two role-play the scene for the class.
Ask Ss to go journal for 3 min about what language felt natural to
them in the scene and what felt especially forced, unfamiliar, or
unnatural.
Instruct Ss in groups to make any changes they feel would make their
lines more natural, while still getting across the same meaning.
Allow Ss time to practice and talk through the new script.
Have each group present their new script. Ss not presenting should
be taking notes on what was changed. Take notes to give oral
feedback after the skit it complete.
Congratulate Ss on successful paraphrases, enthusiastic acting, etc. If
their paraphrases did not quite work, explain why. Alternately, allow
classmates to make comments first if time allows.

Put Ss in groups of four and pass out the packets of handouts. Each S
should have the worksheet and each group should have one packet of
handouts.
Ask Ss to read through the handouts and record the appropriate
information on the ws. Encourage students to divide up the handouts
and work.
As Ss work, create space on the board for groups to write up their
ratings of the handouts from group favorite to group least favorite.
Have groups rate the handouts from favorite/most interested and
least favorite/least interested. And record their results on the table
you drew on the board.
As you average the scores on the board to determine the top three
handouts, have Ss journal about why they liked some organizations
and events and why they didn’t like others.
Go over the three most popular organizations and events with the
class.
Pair Ss and have them discuss the top three.
Take a vote with Ss eyes closed after the discussion to determine the
top organization or event.

For 40 years, Shanti peer support volunteers
have been providing emotional and practical support to
underserved San Francisco residents battling life-
threatening illnesses. If you would like to tangibly
enhance the life of someone who needs it the most, we
encourage you to contact us and learn more about this
truly unique opportunity. As a peer support volunteer, you will:
--Go through the internationally-recognized Shanti
Model of Peer Support training
--Be matched 1-on-1 with a client to whom you will
provide companionship, a non-judgmental ear and light
practical assistance
--Join a community of thoughtful, supportive
volunteers and staff
For this program, we ask for a commitment of 2
to 6 hours a week for at least 6 months. We also
organize support groups once a month, and ask all
volunteers to attend. The 2-6 hours can be done
according to volunteer's schedules--a lot of our
volunteers visit their clients on weekends or evenings--
so it's definitely flexible.
If you decide to enroll in the Peer Support
Program there is a mandatory volunteer training. Each
interested volunteer must attend ALL of the training
dates. The purpose of this training is to prepare
volunteers to work with individuals with life-threatening illnesses. The training will supply
information about breast cancer and HIV/AIDS, as well as teach communication and
listening skills through a variety of interactive exercises. The training is pretty intensive, but
our volunteers typically find it to be an enriching, community-building experience.
You can make an invaluable difference to an underserved person battling breast
cancer or HIV/AIDS- and have your life changed in the process.
Shanti was founded in 1974. Since its inception, Shanti has trained more than 18,000
individuals in the Bay Area and 600 organizations around the world in compassionately
providing emotional and practical support to clients grappling with life-threatening illnesses
and poverty. Recognized as the first community-based AIDS Organization in the world,
Shanti serves over 2,000 underserved San Francisco residents with breast cancer or
HIV/AIDS annually.
