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.
