1. Think of three
important rights you would have and tell them to me. Rights are
things you can expect of others. I will write them down to help you
remember the things you said. As the student says each idea, write it on the recording sheet (abbreviated as appropriate) and read it aloud. Where two or more ideas are given as one, suggest they be written separately. |

| Commentary Students believed that they should be treated kindly, fairly and openly; that they had a responsibility to try hard and to be fair, kind and respectful to their teacher and other students; that teachers had a right to have students who paid attention and were respectful; and that teachers had a responsibility to be well prepared, kind and caring. Students were not aware of some other rights and responsibilities of teachers. |
