– On a chart paper, having an outline of a full body person, students will write
unkind, rude, and disrespectful statements all over the outline. These are
statements that could be made to another person like, “You’re a loser, Nobody
likes you, You are dumb.” After this is completely filled with a variety of negative
comments, have the students will crumple the drawing, and then un-crumple it.
