|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Respect | 5 min | Introduce the topic by asking students what they think respect means. Write ideas on the board. |
| 2 | Group Activity: Respect Scenarios | 10 min | Divide students into small groups. Provide scenarios about respect and disrespect for discussion. Each group will summarize their findings. |
| 3 | Printable Cards Distribution | 5 min | Hand out printable cards to students. Instruct them to fill in their thoughts on what respect means and examples of respectful behavior. |

| 5 | Group Reflection Sharing | 3 min | Facilitate a quick class reflection on the cards. Ask students to share their thoughts without naming individuals to maintain privacy. |

"Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about a very important topic—respect. Can anyone tell me what respect means to them?"
(Wait for responses and write their ideas on the whiteboard.)
"Great! I see some wonderful thoughts here. Respect is essential in all our relationships, whether with friends, family, or even people we don’t know well. Remember, respecting others helps us create a positive environment."
"Now, let’s move into small groups. I’m going to divide you into groups and give each one a scenario. Your job is to discuss whether the behavior in the scenario is respectful or disrespectful and why. After your discussion, you’ll summarize your findings to share with the class."
(Divide students into small groups and distribute the scenarios. Give them about 10 minutes for discussion, circulating to monitor their progress.)
"Okay, everyone, let’s come back together. Who would like to share what their group discussed?"
(Encourage each group to share their findings and facilitate a discussion around the scenarios.)
"Now, I’m going to hand out these printable cards. On these cards, I’d like you to write down what respect means to you and give examples of respectful behavior you’ve seen or experienced."
(Distribute the cards along with markers or pencils, ensuring each student has the materials they need.)
"Take the next few minutes to fill out your cards. Remember to think carefully about what respect looks like and write clear examples. This is your personal reflection, so feel free to take your time."
(Allow about 5 minutes for students to complete their cards quietly.)
"Now that we’ve all had some time to think, I’d love for us to have a quick reflection session. Does anyone want to share their thoughts from their cards? Please remember not to name anyone specifically to respect their privacy."
(Facilitate a sharing session where students can volunteer to share what they’ve written.)
"Thank you all for sharing your thoughts! Before we end, I’d like to collect your cards. I want to remind you that the most important part of this exercise is your personal reflection. While I will look through these, I won’t be sharing your answers with the class, as this is all about your own understanding of respect."
(Collect the cards or check them randomly to gauge understanding.)
"Thank you for your participation today. For homework, I want you all to reflect on a time when you showed respect or received respect. Write a short paragraph about that experience and how it made you feel. We’ll share some of those reflections in our next lesson. Have a great day!"
