4. To show how much respect you have for people and things, try writing a fun respect poem. The easiest way to do this is to make simple list of what it means to be respectful at school and at home.

5. Take these lines, finish them and put them together in a poem. • I show respect for my parents by... • I show respect for my teacher by… • I show respect for my friends by... • I show respect for my classmates by... • I show respect for myself by …
