A Gentleman & A Lady

2 years ago, an unplanned brainstorm session (about the characteristics of a "gentleman" & a "lady") occurred in one of my classes & I really enjoyed hearing their thoughts. Yesterday, I decided to ask my advisory to think about this same topic for 24 hours & report back to me. This morning, their assignment was to create a T-Chart to outline those qualities. (Below, I have written exactly what was on the poster...)

GENTLEMAN
have good manners.
wears glasses.
Men.
strong :)
nice to ladys.
he is doing jobs.

LADY
wears a dress.
Have a long hair.
women.
wears earings.
she respect other people.
She is sensetive.*

*Sensetive is all they could come up with because the literal translation of the Spanish word they kept saying was "weak" & there was a big argument about how that wasn't what they meant. The word "dainty" is the equivalent to the Spanish word they kept saying, but I wasn't going to tell them that.
