Booker T. Washington There are two ways of exerting one’s strength: one is pushing down,the other is pulling up.
Respect • Actively listen to all speakers. • Look at the speaker. • Raise your hand to ask or answer a question. This shows the speaker you respect what they have to say, so don’t be shy, engage. • Nod your head to signal you hear what the speak is saying and that you understand. • Criticism should be constructive and requested. Think: If you don’t have anything nice to say then say nothing at all. • Ms Douglas’ Class Rules
