Teaches social sensitivity as a key step in promoting respect and understanding among students. Emphasizes the importance of respecting the rights and needs of others, illustrates the problems that result from putdowns, fighting, or ignoring others' feelings. Helps students develop empathy and discover that when they show respect for others, they increase their own self-respect.
With the help of fast-paced song lyrics, a host introduces the scenarios:
Steve has borrowed Linda's new game without asking. Amy insists that Katie do their joint computer project her way. Allen pokes fun at Sandy's ambition to be an astronaut. Nicole antagonizes her classmates with her rudeness to their teacher.
Provocative on-screen questions follow each scenario and provide opportunities for discussion and for children to build their own concept of respect.
