Kourtney Lehman – Behind the Dinosaur (Spanish)

This is a Spanish-language FFA lesson plan built around Kourtney Lehman’s 2019-20 National FFA secretary retiring address, “Detrás del dinosaurio” (Behind the dinosaur). Students watch the video and complete a worksheet to learn about mental health, how to face their internal struggles, and how to support others, then create a “kindness tree” with encouraging notes for a common school space.
