Begin by explaining the importance of using appropriate language. Discuss how words can make others feel and how they can impact the classroom environment. Briefly introduce the concept of context and how different situations may require different types of language.

Divide students into small groups. Provide each group with a set of Printable Language Cards, each with different words or phrases. Ask the groups to categorize the cards into 'Appropriate' and 'Inappropriate' for different contexts, such as speaking to a teacher, talking to friends, or during a formal event. Allow Spanish-speaking students to discuss and categorize in Spanish if necessary.

Reconvene as a class and discuss the group activity. Ask each group to explain their categorization. Use the Discussion Questions attachment to guide the conversation, ensuring all students (including Spanish-speaking students) have the opportunity to share their thoughts.

Summarize the key points from the discussion. Emphasize the importance of being mindful of the language we use and how it affects others. Encourage students to practice using appropriate language in various contexts throughout the week.
