Respecting opinions and giving them
Slide 2 - Slide
What are we going to do and why?
Today we are going to practice giving your opinions and talking about them.
Why? I want you to be able to talk to someone about opinions you have in a respectful way. So that we may learn from other people's perspectives and opinions on things.
Today, we are going to try and learn from each other's opinions and have a conversation (not a debate!).
