Values and Good Behaviour

Lesson Integration Note

Objective: To introduce the core concept of "Values" before the "Value Corners" activity from the PowerPoint. This page provides the essential vocabulary and framework for students.

Lesson Flow:

Warm-up (2 mins): Ask students, "What is important to you? Your family? Toys? Friends?" Write their ideas on the board.
Introduce 'Values' (3 mins): Direct students to the title. Explain that today they will learn about 'important ideas'. Read the first section about 'Values'. Use the interactive trigger to reinforce the meaning.
Define & Elicit (5 mins): Go through the example values: fair, honest, and respect. Use the interactive icons and simple gestures/examples for each. Ask students to give you a thumbs-up if they think being 'honest' is important.
Introduce 'Role Models' (2 mins): Explain 'Role Models' using the superhero icon as a visual aid. Ask, "Who is a good role model? Your mum? Your teacher? Spiderman?"
Transition: Say, "Great! Now we know what values are. Let's look at what these values look like every day..." and transition to the next page.

Values

Teacher's Script: "Class, look here. It says, 'If we say we value something, we mean that it is important to us.' This is a big word: Values. Let's say it together: Val-ues. Values are things we think are very, very good. Like being a good person."

If we say we value something, we mean that it is important to us. Ideas that are important to us, like being fair, honest, and showing respect, are called values.

Values in culture

Values become part of our culture because most people agree with them. Your school will encourage honesty and hard work as part of its culture.

A doctor caring for a patient in a hospital bed — Doctors show the value of caring for others.

An athlete jumping over a hurdle — Athletes show values like hard work.

Role models

Teacher's Script: "Role models are people who show good values. We want to be like them. Who is a good role model for you?" Elicit answers like 'my mum', 'my dad', 'my teacher'.

Role models set a good example.

Lesson Integration Note

Objective: To connect the abstract concept of "values" to concrete, everyday actions. This page provides clear, actionable examples for students.

Lesson Flow:

Bridge from Previous Page (1 min): Say, "We just learned about important ideas called 'values'. Now, let's see how we can SHOW these values. We show them with 'good behaviour'."
Picture Walk (8 mins): Go through each of the four pictures. For each one:
- Ask "What is happening in this picture?"
- Read the label (e.g., "greet people"). Click the trigger to show the visual cue.
- Ask, "What value does this show? Is it Respect? Is it being Helpful?" Connect the action to a value word.
- Ask students to role-play the action. "Show me how you greet your mum." "Show me how you say thank you."
Consolidate & Transition (2 mins): Summarise the four behaviours. Say, "See? Greeting, saying thank you, saying sorry, and helping are all ways to show good values. Now, let's learn some more value words for our game!" Transition to the new Phonics page.

At home we should:

Focus: Respect. Script: "Look here. When you wake up, you see your family. What do you do? You greet them! You say 'Good Morning!' This shows respect."

A mother waking up her child in the morning

• greet people when we first meet them in the day

Focus: Respect / Gratitude. Script: "Here, dad gives his daughter food. What does she do? She says 'thank you'. This also shows respect."

A girl receiving a gift and saying thank you

• say thank you when people do things for us

Focus: Honesty / Responsibility. Script: "Oh no! The boy broke something. What should he do? He must say sorry. This shows he is honest and takes responsibility."

• say sorry if we do something wrong

Focus: Helpfulness / Responsibility. Script: "Look at this girl. She is cleaning her toys. She is being helpful. This is a very good value!"

Children helping with cleaning chores at home

• always be helpful and obedient in the home

Check for Understanding

After teaching both pages, use this button to launch the summary activity. This is a quick, low-pressure way to see if students can recall the meaning of the key visual icons.

Teacher's Script: "Okay everyone, let's play a memory game! I will show you some pictures. You tell me what they mean! Ready?" Point to each icon in the pop-up grid and elicit responses from the class. For example, point to the scales icon and ask, "What is this one?" Students should say "Fair!".

Pedagogical Rationale

This page is designed based on the principles observed in the phonics workbook. It breaks down difficult, multisyllabic vocabulary into manageable chunks based on sounds (phonics) and word parts (morphology). The goal is to build students' confidence in pronouncing and understanding the key vocabulary needed for the "Value Corners" game and their final presentation.

Methodology:

Grouping by Sound/Pattern: Words are grouped by suffixes (-ful, -ing), r-controlled vowels (ar), and vowel digraphs (a_e) to help students see patterns.
Syllable Clapping: For long words, we use a physical, kinesthetic approach. Breaking words into syllables and clapping them out makes them less intimidating and easier to remember.
Simple Definitions & Visuals: Every new word is paired with a simple, student-friendly definition and a clear icon, catering to visual learners.
Sentence Frames: Words are presented in simple, reusable sentence frames that students can directly apply in their speaking tasks.

Part 1: Words for Our Values

Teacher's Script: "Now, for our 'Value Corners' game, we need to learn some new words. Don't worry, we will learn them together, sound by sound!"

Ending with '-ful' (means "full of...")

When a word ends in -ful, it means it is "full of" that thing!
→ He is full of respect. → He is respectful.
→ She is full of help. → She is helpful.

The 'ar' Sound (like in car and farm)

Connect this sound to words students may already know. Write 'car', 'star', 'farm' on the board. Underline 'ar' and drill the sound. Then introduce 'hard'.

When you work very hard, you are hardworking.

Let's be Brave! (the 'a_e' sound, like in cake)

The magic 'e' at the end makes the 'a' say its name! Like in game, name, cake.
Someone who is not scared is brave.

Our Super Big Words! (Let's Clap! 👏)

Instruction: This is the most crucial part. For each word, click the trigger, show the popup, and lead the class in clapping out the syllables. Do it slowly first, then at normal speed. Repetition is key. For example: "Ready? Re (clap) - spon (clap) - si (clap) - bi (clap) - li (clap) - ty (clap)! Again!"

Responsibility: This means you do your job and what you promise to do.
Perseverance: This means you never, ever give up!
Integrity: This means you are honest and do the right thing.

Part 2: Words for Our Speech

My Hobbies (the '-ing' sound)

Teacher's Script: "For your speech, you will talk about your hobbies. Many hobbies end with the sound '-ing'. Let's practice." Point to each word, say it, and have the class repeat. Ask simple questions: "Who likes shopping? Who likes swimming?"

In my free time, I like... shopping, dining, hiking, swimming, reading, or playing.

My Hong Kong

Let's learn words to talk about our amazing city!

Culture: This is about our food, our traditions, and how we live.
Landmarks: These are famous places, like The Peak or the Big Buddha.
Festivals: These are special holidays, like Chinese New Year!

Check for Understanding

Use this button for a final check on the new vocabulary. Ask students to match the icon to the word or concept. "Point to the picture for 'Perseverance' (Never Give Up)!"
