Display pictures of these places and discuss briefly all the places mentioned. - **Introduce the Topic:** Explain that today we will learn about special places in our community and things in those places that we should respect. Show a poster with the title "Places and Things to Respect". 2. **Main Activity (20 minutes):** - **Story Time:** Read a short story or show visuals about a character who shows respect towards different places and things (e.g., not littering in the park, speaking softly in the library, following school rules). - **Discussion:** - Ask guided questions like, “Why should we not litter in the park?” and “How can we show respect in a library?” - Discuss the importance of keeping public places clean, quiet, and orderly. - **Interactive Activity:** Show them different pictures of public places. Ask volunteers to come up and place a sticker on a picture where they think respect is important and explain why. 3. **Group Activity (10 minutes):** - Divide the class into small groups. - Each group receives a chart paper and markers. - Instruct students to draw a public place (e.g., a park, school, library) and illustrate how one should show respect in that place (e.g., throwing trash in the bin, maintaining silence, following rules). 4. **Closing (5 minutes):** - **Review:** Summarize the lesson by highlighting key points made by the students about respecting public places and things. Go through the drawings created by the groups and praise their efforts. - **Wrap-Up Discussion:** Ask students to share one thing they learned today about respect.
