This lesson develops self-respect and respect for others through activities that enhance relationships.
Objectives Promote the character trait of respect for self and others.
Involve students at different grade levels in the activity, allowing older students to help younger ones and thus experience caring, cooperation, initiative, kindness, patience, reliability and responsibility. Pair class members with someone they do not know well and give each pair a copy of the Partners handout. Allow 5 to 10 minutes to complete the sheets, then invite students to come together as a class and share some of the things they noted. Ask students if they have ever seen a patchwork quilt. Discuss how many different smaller pieces add to the uniqueness of the larger quilt.
