This week’s advisory theme will revolve around the act of
complimenting!
Tuesday
A.M.- 8:00 to 8:15
Set up Video in advance: http://www.stlouisrams.com/videos/videos/Drive-By-Compliments-with-Chris-Long/7e8f831e-05c5-4816-9067-e1ee94a987c7
1. 8:00-8:02 Show video– It is called Drive by Compliments w/ Chris Long
from the St. Louis Rams (1min47sec):
2. 8:02-8:06 Pose this question: What does it mean to
give a compliment?
a. Give the students some time to think
about their answers and then choose a few to voice their ideas.
3. 8:06-8:12 Lead the discussion further by giving a
concrete explanation of what a compliment is.
a. A compliment is a highly positive
remark based on a praise worthy observation; is enhances your awareness and
consciousness of the people around you.
b. A compliment is an
expression of esteem, respect, affection, or admiration; especially: an
admiring remark
i.
Explain that saying “you’re awesome” is not a
compliment. It needs to be specific (use
the one below or make up own):
1. I was really
impressed with how you held the door open for Mr. Deakin when he was carrying
all of those text books this morning.
You are so awesome!
4. 8:12-815 Walk By Challenge: Give your advisory a
challenge today;
a. Tell them that you are challenging them to pay it forward by observing their peers today and paying compliments to one
another. It is not about receiving
compliments but giving of yourself
and being selfless to lift others
spirits and make a positive impact in someone’s day.
b. Explain to them that when receiving a
compliment, there is only one appropriate, positive way to respond; SMILE and say THANK YOU!
i.
You
don’t want to negate a compliment by responding negatively.
1. Ex. You look so beautiful today, I
really love that outfit on you.
2. Negate: Really I don’t feel pretty, I
feel frumpy.
3. Correct: (Smile) Thank you so much, I really
appreciate you saying that.
Tuesday
PM- 2:55 to 3:30
1. All advisories should meet in the gym.
a.
I will lead a conversation pertaining to compliments given, compliments
received; how do you think a genuine compliment can effect a persons mood &
how your brain responds to compliments.
Wednesday
AM 8:00 to 8:15: “Fish
bowl Validation”
Set up in advance- write each student’s
name on a small sheet of paper, fold them up and place their names in a bucket/bowl/whatever
you have. If someone is absent then you take their name.
1. 8:00-8:05: Explain that a “validation” is an elongated compliment in which you tell a person 3
to 5 of the most authentic (real, true, genuine) compliments you can about that
person.
a. 1) I love how you have always been
there for me, supported me through everything, and always listen and guide me.
b. 2) You are one of the sweetest people
I know.
c. 3) I admire how you push yourself to
be a better person everyday
d. 4) I admire how selfless you are; you
always put other above yourself.
2. 8:05-8:10: Tell the students that they are going
to draw a name out of a bowl, but they can’t say the name of the person that
they get out loud. It’s a secret. The
goal is to become aware of that person throughout the day and notice 3 to 5 remarkable
qualities that you admire within that person. Then secretly write down your
compliments on the note card that I am giving you now. Bring the note card with
you to advisory/office hours this afternoon and turn it in to your advisor. Do
Not Forget it. (if you are leaving early
for any reason, please turn it in before you leave.)
3. 8:10-8:15:
Pick a Name: Have the students draw
out a name, and have them show it to you (Write it down on a sheet of paper so
you can keep track of who gets who- if they draw out their own name, then have
them redraw.)

Friday
AM 8:00 to 9:00- The
Power of Compliments & The Little Things
Set up in videos in advance: There are two videos
(posted below) part 1 & 2. These
videos are about “The Power of Compliments” and how it affects romantic
relationships. It is important that
before showing the video, you explain what I have written down below; I don’t
want the only thing that they take away from this to be that they watch a video
about people who are dating.
Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_3782269089&feature=iv&src_vid=7Vik-Dy3jrE&v=opMQxa1JkuM (7min)
1. 8:00-8:07 Explain to the students prior to playing the videos that the videos they are about
to watch pertain to the “Power of Compliments” and how they can affect
relationships. There are many types of
relationships: Parent/Children, Teacher/Student, Friend/Friend, and romantic
relationships. Relationship by
definition is the way in which two or
more people, groups, countries, etc., talk to, behave toward, and deal with
each other. Tell them that while
they watch the video to consider how
they can relate this to normal friendship relationships.
2. 8:07-8:17 Play
Part 1 & 2
3. 8:17 – 8:40 Flag Ceremony

relationships?

their thoughts

need to be read
a. Wrap it up with this quote: “You give but little when you give of your
possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” ~Kahlil
Gibran
