I have a particularly challenging class when it comes to respecting others and myself. They came into class ready to do nothing. I put aside the curriculum and asked them to do a "Chalk-Talk." Each student gets a different color marker and answers a question. They can start to make connections to what other students in their group are saying.
Afterward, students get a few mini post-its and do a "gallery walk" and put their post-it on anything they really agreed with. I did my own gallery walk with purple post-its. In retrospect, I'm not sure if I should have distinguished my color. They answered the following question: "When do you feel respected in class? When do you feel disrespected in class?" Problem Solved? Not quite, but it's a step in the right direction. The rest of class went fairly smoothly, if that says anything.
