The Law of the Garbage Truck

Read this story about how a taxi driver reacts to an angry, reckless driver:


The Law of the Garbage Truck:
What kind of garbage do people carry around?
How do people dump their garbage?
How did the taxi driver react when the angry driver "dumped garbage" on him?
What does it mean that we should not take the garbage of others and spread it?
Draw a garbage truck (you can trace the one pictured here) or garbage can.  In it or above it, list the kinds of things people say when they are dumping garbage.  Take turns reading these phrases aloud and practice responding the way the taxi driver did.
How does it feel to react this way?
