Lesson Six - Intermediate
Preset: Have the students read "My neighbor" when they first enter the classroom.
Yesterday we talked bout friends. Does the Samaritan treat the Jew as a friend?
Do we only give kindness to those we like? Those who are friends to us? Do we show kindness if we know that others are watching, or do we show kindness because it is a part of us we like?

Activity:
- Pass out a drawing of a thermometer. This is a drawing that shows anger as "Getting Hot". The times that make us most angry are near the top. Those things that just irritate us a little go at the bottom. Take the thermometer and write down the little things that lead to getting angry.
- Have students role play each of the levels of anger and show how they deal with the feelings.
Ideas about controlling self for self...........
Teacher passes out a self monitor notebook. For the next week I would like you to keep track of how you handle feelings. It is fine if you do your monitoring about anger, but you can also monitor other things. I believe that you will find this is a great tool to help you carry on in self growth.

by Seymour Loveland
In the land where Jesus lived, there was a man who did not know who his neighbors were. To explain to the man, Jesus told him this story. A Hebrew was traveling along a road both rough and dangerous. Wild animals were all about. Thieves set upon the Hebrew, took all his money, wounded him and left him lying alone. At last a holy man came along. He heard the moans and looked toward the Hebrew. Without even crossing the road to help the wounded man, he passed on his way. He didn't think he was being cruel. He only thought this: "That man is not one of my neighbors. He is a stranger. Why should I take a chance on getting hurt to help him?"
Later in the afternoon another man, a teacher, came down the road. He was afraid and wanted to get to a safer place by nightfall. When he saw the wounded traveler, he crossed to him. The man, he saw, was not another teacher. Nor was he one of the teacher's neighbors. He thought, "It is growing late, and I must hurry to a place where it will be safe to spend the night." He did not want to linger in so dangerous a place.
Nightfall was near. The cold wind blew. The wounded man trembled with fear when he heard the howl of a wolf. The animal was waiting for darkness. then, it could creep up and tear the poor man to pieces. The last rays of the setting sun shone upon a donkey and its rider, who was a gentle man, a Samaritan.
When the Samaritan saw the wounded man, he stopped his donkey, jumped off and ran to the man's side. Then he saw that the man lying at his feet was a Hebrew. The Samaritans and the Hebrews hated one another. They never called each other neighbor. But this Samaritan had so much love in his heart the he did not feel concerned that the wounded man at his feet was a Hebrew, an enemy.
This poor man needs help, and I can give it to him," was the Samaritan's only thought. He helped the Hebrew onto the donkey's back. The Samaritan himself walked along beside until they come to an inn. All night, the good man stayed with the Hebrew and took care of him. In the morning, he left some money with the inn-keeper and asked him to take care of the Hebrew until the injured man was completely well.
