Introduction (10 minutes)
Bring students together in a circle, either seated in chairs or on the floor.
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.
Explain to the class that today they will be discussing the word "diversity." They will also be appreciating and respecting each other's differences.
