Grade 5/6 Home Learning Term 2 Week 4TERM 2 VALUE: RESPECT

It’s easy to say, but not always easy to do.

*Choose 2 of the following activities to show your understandings of the value RESPECT

1. Share: Sometimes in our lives we meet really special people who live the value of respect in the way they relate to others. Mr T was one of those people and we can all hope to be more like the fine example he set for us. If you would like to share something you remember about how Mr T showed respect to you or to others, please type or write on an A4 page and give it to your teacher. You could add a drawing and decorate the page. We will put your responses into a book and place it in the library to share with others.

2. Write and/or film a commercial, or a rap/song about respect. Try to sell respect so others will want to start using it. For instance, say something positive that might happen in the world if more people showed respect to one another or persuade the audience that respect is really important with your powerful words and content.

3. Create a recipe for respect. Write a procedural text with the ingredients, method and desired results.

4. Make a collage for respect. Draw pictures or paste magazine pictures that show different ways you can show respect to others. Write a word for each letter in the word respect that means almost the same thing (synonyms).

5. Analyse a newspaper or magazine article about a person who showed respect. Write a paragraph explaining what they did to demonstrate respect and include a copy of the article.

6. Construct a mobile using paper, string, and a clothes hanger. The mobile must show at least four different ways you can show respect to yourself, other people, and property.

7. Design a pamphlet to advise other students on how to handle a situation calmly, where you are disrespected. What can you do if another person is disrespectful to you? Suppose they accused you of doing something you didn’t do. Suppose they were rude or mean or short tempered with you. What can you say? What can you do?

8. Make a list of things people do who are being respectful. Here are a few: hold the door open for someone who needs help, listen without interrupting, don’t talk back, whine, or throw away rubbish responsibly. Make a list of things people say who are being respectful. Here are a few: “please.” “Thank you.” “I appreciate that.” “May I hold the door?” “Pardon me.” “I’m sorry I offended you.”
