There are two ways of exerting one’s strength:

one is pushing down,the other is pulling up.

Booker T. Washington

• Actively listen to all speakers.• Look at the speaker.• Raise your hand to ask or answer a question. This

shows the speaker you respect what they have to say, so don’t be shy, engage.

• Nod your head to signal you hear what the speak is saying and that you understand.

• Criticism should be constructive and requested. Think: If you don’t have anything nice to say then say nothing at all.

• Ms Douglas’ Class Rules
