Learning Objectives Recognize the difference between respectful and disrespectful language Use words that do not offend, using rights-respecting language Be aware of tone and body language Consider first plans for VC presentation

Pairwork Split the words / phrases on the worksheet ‘Offensive or OK’ into sets of respectful and disrespectful phrases. (5 minutes) Check with another pair then whole class feedback using the next slide.

Offensive or OK? • I hate… • That is an interesting point… • Can you see it from my point of view? • I see it differently • You’re wrong • I can’t understand what you are saying • Do you honestly believe that? • You must be joking… • We’ll have to agree to disagree • That doesn’t make sense… • Can you explain that to me again? • That’s rubbish! • Thank you for your opinion… • I disagree…

1 st Groupwork In groups of 4 consider how some of the words would make you feel if used in a sentence directed at them. For example, discuss favourite books, TV programmes, sports teams, etc and try out some of the phrases ( I hate that team… You must be joking… That’s an interesting point…) add to the terms if you wish.

Offensive or OK? • I hate… • That is an interesting point… • Can you see it from my point of view? • I see it differently • You’re wrong • I can’t understand what you are saying • Do you honestly believe that? • You must be joking… • We’ll have to agree to disagree • That doesn’t make sense… • Can you explain that to me again? • That’s rubbish! • Thank you for your opinion… • I disagree…

2 nd Groupwork – change team-mates What could make the phrases take on a different meaning? Consider tone and body language – role play some of the phrases experimenting with how you are sitting or standing when saying them, or how you are making eye contact, or what you are doing with your arms
