Objective: students will create an image that expresses a positive message of "respect" among peers.


What is respect?

  • Valuing each other's points of view
  • Accepting people as they are
  • Being polite and kind always
  • Not "dissing" people because they are different from you
  • Not gossiping about people or spreading lies
  • Standing up for and helping others who are not being treated kindly

Your Assignment

Take an inspirational photograph that expresses a positive message of respect for others.  

Later, we will use a photo editor to add text to our image.  We will add a specific word (i.e.: respect, kindness) or an inspirational quote or saying related to respect.

The 5 best photos will be made into posters to be hung throughout the school during the week of respect.

possible photo topics/inspiration:

  • Respect
  • Be kind
  • Be the voice, not the echo
  • "Be the change you wish to see in the world." (Gandhi)
  • "Be the change" (Gandhi)
  • "Be kind whenever Possible.  It is always possible." (The Dalai Lama)
  • "No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted." (Aesop)
