HANDOUT
Translate this...
A translator helps people who speak different languages to understand each other. On the lines below, describe a situation that you feel strongly about and are willing to discuss with others. For example: angry about your unfair curfew. In groups of three, tell your story. One person will play the role of the Translator and listen genuinely to the emotional content and words. The Translator will then convey your feelings and words to the third person who will give a mirroring response back to you. When you have finished, switch roles so that each person gets to play the role of the Translator.
One thing I feel very strongly about is the amount of homework for high school students. Most of the time, they are jam-packed with homework, where finishing it means no sleep. They need to procrastinate every time and need to use every second of their time possible. The remaining time, they just sit around watching TV, as if they had no homework. The truth is, they do have homework, but it’s so little that they forget all about it. I think teachers should even out the amount of homework as much as possible, and only give the students maximum 1.5 hours of homework per day.
FAMILY REFLECTIONS
Get your family together and decide to practice listening with your heart this week. Discuss among your family how you all feel when you're really listened to.
OK, i'll do that during dinner.
