Que es el respeto? (What Is Respect?)

by Joshua Turner

Overview

Respect for the opinions and beliefs of others is not only a critical component of democracy but also of everyday life. Using easy-to-understand concepts such as the "golden rule," or treating others as one would want to be treated, this book shows students that respecting others and engaging in reciprocity, even when we disagree, is important and necessary. The ability to "disagree agreeably" is increasingly important in the current political and societal atmosphere. Introducing students to this concept early can make a real difference in how they interact with others now and later in life.

Gr 2–4—This seven-volume Spanish language series highlights essential principles of what it means to live in a democratic society. Topics include how to "disagree agreeably," the difference between equality and equity, how laws are written and passed, activism, and social justice. Diversity and inclusiveness are emphasized not only in words but also in pictures, as photographs portray a variety of intersectional identities. Thoughtful discussion questions follow each chapter or topic area, reinforcing critical thinking and reasoning skills. A noteworthy feature of this series is its in-depth discussion of how equality and equity play out in everyday situations and the consequences of systemic inequality throughout history. The books' style of Spanish will resonate with a wide audience, and the link to suggested reading will catalyze students to learn more about their favorite civics topics. VERDICT An essential addition to any social studies collection, this series touches on relevant current events and topics.
