Display this slide to kick off the lesson. Read the quote aloud and then ask students: “What does acceptance mean to you?” Invite 2–3 quick responses. Explain that today’s session will explore both the benefits and drawbacks of acceptance.

Show the definition and ask students to turn to a partner to discuss. Encourage them to suggest edits or additions. After 1–2 minutes, record the class’s refined definition on chart paper.

Introduce the pros and cons chart. Explain that in pairs, students will brainstorm at least three items for each column on their worksheet. Circulate to prompt deeper thinking.

Ask students to complete the reflection section of their worksheet silently. Remind them to be honest and concise. Circulate and offer support if needed.

Invite 2–3 volunteers to share their reflections. Use these prompts to guide discussion: • When is acceptance a strength? • When might resisting be more helpful? Summarize key points on the board.

Reinforce the main takeaways and thank students for their participation. Remind them that both acceptance and resistance have their place, depending on the situation.
