Class Reflection (2 minutes):

Lead a brief reflection session where students share their key takeaways from the lesson. Encourage them to express how they can apply the concepts of respect and peace in their daily lives.

Conclusion and Homework Assignment (2 minutes):

Summarize the lesson by reinforcing the significance of respect in maintaining peace within the community. Assign homework that involves students reflecting on a situation where respect led to a peaceful resolution.
