- Write or project the following quote on the board: "A relationship is about two things: appreciating the similarities and respecting the differences."
- Ask a student to read the quote out loud.
- Ask the class to think about what this quote means to them. (Give them 30–60 seconds.) Then, ask them to share their thoughts with a partner.
- After, ask if any pairs would like to share out with the whole class.
