RICE in Reverse!
We have been learning how to define respect and co-operation. Last week we wrote some clever definitions of each topic. Today we used the Reverse Key to help us to think about respect and co-operation. When we use the Reverse Key we place words such as cannot, never and not into a sentence to get us thinking...
We had to list ways you cannot show co-operation/respect. Here are some of our ideas.
Post a comment if you can suggest the co-operative or respectful opposite to our ideas.
