Energy Responsibility

When you take energy away from a fellow classmate you have a responsibility to

give it back!

1.You put another person down by calling them a name.

Payback-Ask for forgiveness by saying I’m sorry. Saying you’re sorry

means you will not repeat the behavior.

2. Someone laughed at you when you had the wrong answer or made a mistake.

Payback- Design a poster that says “There are no mistakes in life, only

lessons!”

3-You ignored another’s ideas given in the classroom.

Payback- Acknowledge you need to validate others ideas to the student and the

class.

4-Someone says negative things about you to other students.

Payback-Requirement to memorize: The way you treat others is proof of your respect

for yourself.

5-Someone only sees their own side of the story.

Payback-Invite students to stand at one end of your desk across from each other

& describe an object!

Read your students the story “The Seven Blind Mice”

6-Someone gets angry and yells at you.

Payback- Memorize: The first person to raise their fist or their voice is the

first person to run out of ideas.
