RESPECT What is it? (Synonyms) What isn’t it? (Antonyms) Where would you find it? Who or what does it remind you of?
If there is one character who shows little respect for the feelings of others, it is Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens. Just examine his behaviors: he insults his nephew, he sends away a boy singing Christmas Carols, he does not want to give Bob Cratchit the day off from work, he refuses to spend Christmas Eve with his nephew’s family, he will not give money to help the poor, and he does not want people to wish him a Merry Christmas! “Bah! Humbug!”
Look for signs of disrespect as you watch the video clip!
Think about what you can do to become a more respectful person so that you don’t become a SCROOGE!
