resolution and maintaining self control are three ways you can show respect to the rights and
feelings of others.
2. During cooperative games and all other units, being ‘here’ is very important because you’re not
only present- you are adding value to the activity at all times. You’re actively engaged figuring
out a solution to the problem, asking clarifying questions, working positively with peers, etc.
3. An effective listener is someone who listens quietly without interruption. They hear the person
out on their opinions even if they are different than their own.
