“Don’t fuss or grovel.” Ask students: What does this quote mean? What other words do you use to express these actions? When have you been told not to “fuss or grovel”? What are things you have to do that you don’t enjoy and that you might complain about?
Create a list of vocabulary words so students can explore if everyone dislikes the same chores. Have students think about if anyone (parents, guardians) enjoys the things on that list.
