Students will participate watch a skit on being respectful on CCTV as part of morning announcements. Classroom Meetings will take place to discuss and model showing respect, even under difficult situations.
Format = classroom meeting/discussion
Curriculum = Skit on Being Respectful:
The day before this lesson, choose two students to assist and go over what they should do during the skit. Be careful to discuss any parameters for language and behavior during the skit (set boundaries to keep the scenarios from getting out of hand). Begin by asking students what respect means to them. Write some of their responses on the board. Ask for examples of disrespect as well as respect. Explain that you and two students will be giving a demonstration and will be asking questions at the end. Have the two students pretend to walk up the hallway (in front of the class). Walk up to the first and ask politely for the student to show his or her ID. The student should act disrespectfully (“whatever,” roll eyes, “I don’t know you, I don’t have to show you anything,” etc.). Get irritated, reprimand the student, and pretend to call for security and a dean. Next approach the second student in the same way you approached the first. This student should quietly take out his or her ID and put it on. Thank the student, smile, and tell the student to have a good day as you walk away.
1. Ask the class to point out what was disrespectful in the first interaction
2. Ask what was more respectful in the second
3. Ask which student had an easier day after the interaction Wrap up the discussion with a reminder that respect is something that is earned, and that showing adults in the building a basic level of respect can make life a lot easier for everyone.
4. Students will break into teams and create posters that encourage positive examples of being respectful. Each team will then introduce their poster to the whole classroom. Posters will be displayed in the cafeteria and hallways.

2. In Lesson 2, you’ve discussed theHelpingworksheetwith your students and how carrying out a simple task for someone who is sick, or living with cancer translates to support. Tell students that simple acts of kindness can also be supportive to someone.
