Instructional Ideas

Classroom Considerations

• Use judgment to determine suitability; some of the vocabulary is too advanced for very young learners, while some of the activities are too elementary for older students

Pros

• Includes handy graphic organizers to better sort information and ideas

Cons

• A typographical error on each of the four Community of Respect worksheets may cause some confusion
