Part 2C: We – Respecting Others

“We: Respecting Others” is an FFA leadership lesson plan (Section 3, Part 2) that uses a “how many squares” perception activity and a paired hand-outline activity to help students recognize that others have diverse perspectives and to identify similarities and differences among classmates. It includes a debrief, a “Respecting Others” worksheet, and a leveling-up extension applying the concept to the FFA chapter.
