Student Handout: Independent Practice - Respect. Respond to each question by writing a few sentences that explain why you agree or disagree with each of the given statements.
• Write a blog entry or reflection defining respect. You may want to consider
the following questions as you begin to craft your response:
• What does the word “respect” mean to you?
• How do you exemplify respect in your life?
• How does respect differ from tolerance?
• How do disrespect, intolerance, prejudice, and discrimination differ from one another?
• Why is respect important in our world today?
• Who deserves respect but often does not receive it? Why is this the case?
• Choose one of the following quotes and write a response to its author that
explains why you either agree or disagree with the quote. In your response,
reference your own experiences, the experiences exemplified in the testimony
clips viewed, and/or the outcomes and insights garnered from class activities
and class discussions of respect.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
— Eleanor Roosevelt (Former First Lady)
We hate someone because we do not know them;
and will not know them because we hate them.
