CONCLUSION:

Give each young woman a piece of paper and a pencil, and ask the class to assume that they have only one week left to spend with their families. Have them identify one thing they could do to show their love and improve the harmony in their family. Ask them to write it down and during the next week put it into practice as if it were indeed their last week with their families. Invite them to share their experiences next week if they would like to.

HANDOUT:

Get a pretty card with a family or music notes on the front of it for them to write their idea on.
