THAT’S GREAT! BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY?

LINE EXPERIMENT

How to participate?

Outside the classroom is a line; everyone will line

up with their backs against each of the lockers.

I will read a statement; if the statement applies to

you, then you SILENTLY step on the line.

You will stay on the line until I say you should step

off the line.

EXAMPLE

If I say, “I am wearing jeans today.”Then, everyone wearing jeans will step on the line

I will then say, “Thank you, please step

back to your place.”Everyone wearing jeans will then step back into

the place they were before.

RESPECT & HONESTY

EVERYONE should be silent as soon as they step outside

the door.

If there is anyone that says anything disrespectful (or

reacts in a way that is disrespectful), then we will end the

activity right away.

If you choose to participate in this activity, then you will

be honest with yourself and the rest of us.

THIS IS A SAFE PLACE!!!! MAKE IT SO!!!!

QUESTIONS??

QUESTIONS

How did this make you feel?

What understandings of your own views of love did

you come up with?

Do you view love differently than before?

Is there a difference between love, lust and

infatuation? If so, what are the differences?
