In this activity, students will create a storyboard about what respect means to them and demonstrate their understanding of respect in action using a series of prompts.
Students will be given the following prompts for each of the three cells: “Respect looks like…”, “Respect sounds like…”, and “Respect feels like…”.
For each of the three cells, students must write about what respect means to them, adding specific details when necessary, and illustrate it in the storyboard.

Start with a brief class conversation about what respect means to different people. This helps students share ideas and sets a positive tone for the activity.
Ask students to describe moments they have seen or shown respect at school, home, or in their community. This makes the concept more relatable and encourages participation.
Guide the class to list ways respect can be shown in different settings. This provides inspiration for their storyboard and reinforces positive behavior.
Demonstrate active listening, polite responses, and appreciation for all contributions. This shows students how respect looks and sounds in conversation.
Reference ideas from the conversation as you introduce the storyboard activity. This helps students draw from real examples when creating their work.
A storyboard activity for teaching respect involves students creating visual and written responses to prompts like “Respect looks like…”, “Respect sounds like…”, and “Respect feels like…”. This helps students express and illustrate their understanding of respect in real-life situations.
Guide students to describe and illustrate examples of respect in three ways: what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like. Encourage specific details and creative drawings to reinforce their understanding and make the lesson engaging.
Examples of respect in action include listening when others speak, using polite language, sharing materials, and including classmates in activities. These behaviors can be depicted in both written sentences and illustrations on the storyboard.
Understanding what respect looks, sounds, and feels like helps students recognize respectful behaviors in themselves and others. This awareness builds a positive classroom community and improves social-emotional skills.
The best way to assess is by reviewing each student's sentences and illustrations for completeness, clarity, and relevance to the prompts. Look for thoughtful examples that reflect personal understanding of respect in different contexts.
