Respecting Other Points of View

What are we learning today?

You will listen to other ideas and answer them in a polite way.

Explanation

• People see the same story in different ways.
• Listen to the other person first.
• Say what you agree with. Then add your own idea.
• Give a reason for your idea.
• Different answers can all be good.

Examples

1. I think thieves stole these objects. - I agree. But where did they come from?
2. That's an interesting idea. I see it differently because it is too expensive.
3. You would stand in the pit because it is cheap. I would sit under the roof because it is dry.

Remember!

• Do not say only "No". Give a reason.
• Do not laugh at another idea.
• Do not interrupt the speaker.

Check yourself

1. Which is polite: "That's an interesting idea." or "That is a stupid idea."?
2. Complete: "I agree, ___ I think ..." (but / so)
