1. Describe A time where you felt disrespected . Present the experience as

if it is a scene from a novel. Describe the setting where the event took
place. Explain who was there. Show what they did and said. Explain
how you felt.

It was a Tuesday morning , second period class. A class that students passed
by and knew what were the expectations of the teacher. Classroom with about 23
kids and about one third of the class were girls. It was my turn to present , but i'm a
very outgoing person so nervousness was nothing to talk about. Like many people
that were presenting, I was just doing my thing. A few seconds after one of my
classmates decided to intervene. But it was thanks to my teacher that she managed
to let him understand how important it was to pay attention. Although I felt shy I
felt relieved that the teacher took it under control

2. Describe the same experience a second time ,but this time revise what
people did and said in a way that would have left you feeling fully
respected. In this revision of history , have everyone speak and behave
in ways that would have changed the outcomes and experiences for the
better, leaving you feeling fully respected.

was disrespectful and thanks to them we both avoided having problems during the
presentation.
