Students rotate through short stations with anonymized quotes, photo clues from shared spaces, and quick observation notes from around campus. In mixed-grade groups, they sort each clue into categories such as respect, inclusion, belonging, or unclear, then use sentence stems and picture/word cards to explain what action they noticed and what effect it may have on school climate. The session closes with a brief circle where each student names one clue that changed their thinking and one discussion skill they practiced.
