Short Answer
1. How have different marginalized groups taken terms that were meant to harm them and used them for empowerment?
Teaching Suggestion: Facilitate a group debate or conversation about terms originally intended to harm being reclaimed for purposes of empowerment, as well as the role of such terms in the interactions of Friends vs. Bullies. Discuss the impact of words on people and why words matter.
2. How do you define teamwork?
Teaching Suggestion: Discuss the importance of teamwork and what it looks like through different stages of life and situations. Share how teamwork is present in your own life and ask the group to think of situations outside of school where their teamwork is required. Explore how teamwork inspires Discovering Strengths through Friendships.
