  5. Pride Pact Now that we have gotten to know each other a little bit, we will create a social contract, called the Pride Pact, that will help us build a positive, productive learning community.

  6. Pride Pact Think back to the four questions you answered in your homeroom class: • How do you want the teacher to treat you? • How do you want to treat your classmates and your teacher? • How do you want your classmates to treat you? • How should we treat each other when there is a conflict? With these questions in mind, list 3 things you think will help create a positive learning environment for you.

  7. Pride Pact • Now, compare your list with a partner. Narrow the combined list to 5 that you both can agree on. • Get together with another pair. Combine your lists and then narrow them to 5 that you can all agree on. • You will receive another group’s list. Decide which 3 items on their list you would like to see in our Pride Pact. Write those three items on the board. (period 5 begin) • We will regroup as a class, combine lists, and then narrow it down to 5 that we can all agree on.
