Welcome students enthusiastically. Introduce today’s lesson and set a positive tone. Explain that everyone in this class can be a Respect Ranger by learning what respect is and how to show it.

Ask students what they think respect means. Chart responses on the board. Highlight listening, kind words, and following classroom rules.

Display the Respectful Behavior Poster. Point to each example and ask students if it shows respect or not. Invite quick thumbs up/down.

Explain the role-play activity. Divide students into pairs, distribute scenario cards, and model one scenario quickly. Circulate and support respectful language.

After role-plays, ask volunteers to share one new idea for showing respect. Reinforce connections to classroom rules.

Hand out the Respect Journal Worksheet and badge stickers. Tell students they have two minutes to draw or write about their respectful action choice.
