Will you Pay it Forward?


What is the best gift you've ever received? What is the best gift you've ever given? Which is better: to give or to receive?

Pay It Forward is a 2000 American film based on the novel of the same name by Catherine Ryan Hyde. When 11 1⁄2-year-old Trevor McKinney begins seventh grade in Las Vegas, Nevada, his social studies teacher Eugene Simonet gives the class an assignment to devise and put into action a plan that will change the world for the better. Trevor's plan is a charitable pyramid scheme, based on good deeds rather than profit. He calls his plan "Pay it forward", which means the recipient of a favor does a favor for a third party rather than paying the favor back.

Will you Pay it Forward?: "A California man launched a Facebook campaign to get others to Pay it Forward on December 1st. Why not pay it forward every day?"

Your assignment: Devise one way to 'Pay it Forward' in the next week. Carry out your plan and be prepared to share it with the class
