Welcome students and introduce the lesson. Explain that today’s focus is on how our words – especially in lyrics – can impact others. Tie it to real-life examples they know (songs, social media).

Read the objective aloud. Emphasize that this is about awareness and practice—no one is perfect, but everyone can improve.

Pose the question and call on 2–3 volunteers. Capture key ideas on board (respect, feelings, clarity).

Project or display the poster. Walk through each principle briefly. Ask students to paraphrase one guideline.

Explain the scenario activity. Remind groups to use the poster as a reference. Circulate to listen and prompt.

Read the example scenario aloud. Ask students what they notice. Guide them toward specific word changes.

Introduce the reflection sheet. Show how to fill out the sections. Emphasize creativity and honesty.

Give students time to work silently. Circulate to support rephrasing and ensure age-appropriate language.

Distribute sticky notes. Prompt students to think of 1–2 personal rules. Collect them under the poster.

Select 3–4 student notes to read aloud. Reinforce how these guidelines help everyone. Preview how respectful language supports future projects.
