Think about tolerance Grade 12 Transactional ELA

Have you experienced intolerance?

Simple Plan - CRAZY “Tell me what’s wrong with society When everywhere I look, I see Young girls dying to be on TV They won’t stop till they’ve reached their dreams Diet pills, surgery Photoshop pictures in magazines Telling them how they should be It doesn't make sense to me”

Tolerance is being open and receptive to the beauty of differences.

April is Special- Education Month

The seeds of intolerance are fear and ignorance

Do YOU judge others?

Tell me what’s wrong with society When everywhere I look I see Rich guys driving big SUVs While kids are starving in the streets

“Is everybody going crazy? Is anybody going to save me?” Simple Plan - CRAZY

Why are people intolerant?

All people are people

How can you encourage acceptance?

Amanda Marshall – Everybody’s got a story Now who could read the mind of the red-headed girl next door Or the taxi driver who just dropped you off Or the classmate that you ignore

Don't assume everything on the surface is what you see 'Cause that classmate just lost her mother And that taxi driver's got a PhD I'm so tired of the fear That weighs us down with wrong assumptions Of broken hearts, a natural function

Peace is the goal. Tolerance is the method.

"I do not distinguish by the eye, but by the mind, which is the proper judge of the man." ---Seneca

Will YOU be more accepting of others?
