RESPECT

The Queen of Soul said it best:

"Ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone Ain't gonna do you wrong 'cause I don't wanna All I'm askin' Is for a little respect when you come home"

Yesterday we added RESPECT to your classroom rules. Today in the words of Motown Legend Aretha Franklin “R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find out what it means to me.” I want to find out what it means to you. Write a short essay on what respect means to you plan to incorporate it into your behavior at DMT.

Your essay must include a minimum of three paragraphs with no less than three sentences in each paragraph. You must use proper grammar and do your best to spell things correctly.
Don’t cry just yet, there is another option, if you would like to rewrite the lyrics to respect you can do that instead. Please see your instructor for the original lyrics. We will talk extra-credit If you want to perform your version of the song in front of class. The lyrics must be along the same the lines as the essay. As always please ask your instructor any questions.

To feel or show deferential regard for; esteem.

Respect means a lot to me. I believe it is very important to treat everyone with respect. If I'm disrespectful, I try to apologize for it because I believe that respect is an easy thing to give to someone. I still try to give people respect even if they aren't giving me any, but sometimes it is hard to do.

Everyone in DMT deserves to be respected and to respect others. Nobody should be laughed at for their ideas or yelled at. If we just try to have a good attitude about everything then everyone would be in a better mood.

I hope that I can show that I respect everyone in this class, and if I haven't been, I hope to do a better job of it in the future. If that doesn't work, we should just have Aretha Franklin come sing to us.
