Rules for Survival

I had my students make a list of "Rules for Survival" recently. They could pick whatever topic they felt expert in - a sport, sharing a bathroom, getting through the halls, or (as two students picked): Women.

Their advice is surprisingly mature. I think you will appreciate the combined list I made:

  1. Show respect
  2. Be nice to them
  3. Avoid eye contact
  4. Pretend to care
  5. Don't let them get on the phone
  6. Compliment their legs
  7. While they're talking, nod but don't listen.

Amazing.

    Hey, that sounds awesome. :) I'm dying to hear more details about the assignment! We're finishing up Call of the Wild with 7th graders, and I want to assign them a "survival guide" writing project...thoughts?
