Think about toleranceGrade 12 Transactional ELA
Have you experienced intolerance?
Simple Plan - CRAZY
“Tell me what’s wrong with society
When everywhere I look, I seeYoung girls dying to be on TVThey won’t stop till they’ve
reached their dreamsDiet pills, surgery
Photoshop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should beIt doesn't make sense to me”
Tolerance is being open and receptive to the beauty of
differences.
April is Special-Education Month
The seeds of intolerance are fear and ignorance
Do YOU judge others?
Tell me what’s wrong with
societyWhen everywhere I
look I seeRich guys driving
big SUVsWhile kids are starving in the
streets
“Is everybody going crazy?Is anybody going to save me?”
Simple Plan - CRAZY
Why are people intolerant?
All people are people
How can you encourage
acceptance?
Amanda Marshall – Everybody’s got a story
Now who could read the mind of the red-headed girl next door
Or the taxi driver who just
dropped you off Or the classmate
that you ignore
Don't assume everything on the surface is what you see
'Cause that classmate just lost her mother
And that taxi driver's got a PhD I'm so tired of the fear
That weighs us down with wrong assumptions
Of broken hearts, a natural function
Peace is the goal. Tolerance is the method.
"I do not distinguish by the eye, but by the mind, which is the proper judge
of the man." ---Seneca
Will YOU be more accepting
of others?
