Materials Needed

• The respect questionnaire (see the Download button below), one copy for each student.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Hand out the questionnaire (2 minutes). Say: Today we are going to think about respect. Each of you will fill out this questionnaire on your own.
2. Fill it out (5 minutes). Say: For each statement, circle T for True or F for False. There are no trick answers. Just choose what you honestly think.
3. Discuss the answers (8 minutes). Say: Now let’s talk about your answers together. What did you choose, and why? Listen to how your classmates see it, too.

Discussion Questions

• Which answers did most of us agree on, and which ones did we see differently?
• What does a respectful choice look like in our classroom?
• What is one respectful thing you can do tomorrow?

Assessment
