Tolerance Defined
Tolerance means respecting people even when they are
different. We are all different in some ways; that’s what makes us
human.
But those same factors that make us unique – race, gender,
language, religion, appearance, and ability – can also divide us,
engendering mistrust and causing intolerance and
misunderstanding.
Taking Steps Towards ToleranceThere are certain steps that we can take to become a more tolerant individual. As we participate in a variety of activities, consider the different steps:
1) Examine stereotypes2) Try to understand the
source of your feelings about others
3) Empathize with others – put yourself in their shoes
4) Reaching out to others
LESSON 1Similarities and Differences
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
ACTIVITY
How are you the same….how are you different?
Create the following
Similarities and Differences Activity Directions
1) In the center box in the upper left-hand corner, write the word similarities. Place 3 bullets below the word.
2) In each of the quadrants place the name of one member of your group. Place 3 bullets under each name.
3) Your group must find 3 similarities between all members – and 3 ways that you are completely different. (Anything Palmer can’t be used!)
JOURNALING (1)
1) Title this entry…Similarities and Differences.
2) Answer the following question based on the activity.
Which step of developing tolerance does the similarities and differences activity fall into? Why?
Directions: In this unit, you will keep a journal. Whenever you are asked to write a reaction or response, this is where you will do so. The journal is one of your assignments for this unit

Watch the next clip and pay attention to what your brain is processing.
This will lead us into our next lesson and activities.
Label ActivityLabel Activity1) Do not verbally tell
anyone what their label is!
2) Do not look at your own label!
3) Try to figure out what your label is by how people treat you when we mingle.
I’m very pretty
Journal Entry (2) Labeling Activity
A. Write down what you think your activity label is?
B. How did you figure out what the label said?
*( Take off your label – paste it on
your notes sheet.)
C. How does this activity relate to real life and real labels?
D. Which step does this activity address? Why?

LABELS Where do labels come from? (figure
out the brain teaser below.)
Labels are based on PARADIGMS….Paradigms are our personal
perceptions
Shifting our paradigms
What we originally see or perceive isn’t always correct or complete…..or maybe we just see things differently.
What do you see? Is she young or old?
PerceptionWOMAN OR SAX
PLAYER? SMOKING ROOM?
Perception is EverythingPARALLEL OR DIAGONAL? ESKIMO OR INDIAN
Perception is EverythingFROG OR HORSE DUCK OR RABBIT
GOOD OR EVIL? YOU OR ME

Shifting Paradigms:Journal Entry (3)A. Recall a time you were wrong in your judgment of another person. Ask yourself the following questions and write your story:
1) What did I base my initial judgment on?
2) What lead me to see that I was mistaken?
3) How did I feel?
B. Which step(s) did this activity address.
STAND UP Directions:
As you hear the different characteristics or facts. Stand up if they apply to you.
As you participate in this activity, notice those around you. Who do you have things in common with? What did you learn about another person?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WDJsvLXELo
Journaling (4)…..Discussion
A. In this activity, standing up was relatively easy. Standing up or speaking up for yourself or for
others isn’t always this simple.
Write about a time in your life where you stood up for yourself or someone else. Explain how it felt to
stand-up!
B. Which step did this activity address?

Teaching Tolerance: Reading and Discussion
Directions: Reading Jigsaw
1. At your table, number off 1 – 4
2. Stack and Pack – find the other students with your number. Sit together at a table.
3. Read the entire handout. High-light any information that you find that can help you answer YOUR question.
4. After reading and highlighting – compare your results with others who had the same question. Make sure that the information you will share with your table is similar to that of other groups.
Teaching ToleranceCLOSE READINGDirections: Your number….your question
1) What is tolerance? What should not be tolerated?
2) Why do you think some people are prejudice, intolerant or biased towards others? Why are some not? (What does the reading suggest?)
3) How could developing tolerance benefit you now and in your future? (Give at least 2 benefits for now, 2 for future)
4) What steps could one take to change their perspective and develop tolerance?
You’re the expert Each of you will take a turn, guiding your
table mates through the reading and show them where you located the information to answer your specific question in depth.
As your group goes through each question, change the color of your highlighter so that you can easily see which sections of the reading address each question.
