Gratitude Gifs

It takes an element of vulnerability for students to open up and take a risk in front of a peer.  As a form of "thanks" for taking this risk, #Significant72 teachers have students thank one another after each  "share".    Thanking using "Gratitude Gifs" makes learning more fun and  heightens student feelings of fun and acceptance in the classroom. To do this, the teacher projects the "Gratitude Gif" on the   board.  Partners then show their peer gratitude by repeating the action on screen.
