Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to explain why it’s important to follow the rules in class.
Materials: - Powerpoint or other visual aid - Whiteboard or marker board
Procedure:
-
Introduction (5 minutes) - Welcome all students and explain the lesson objective, that students will be learning about why it’s important to follow the rules in class. - Introduce yourself and other educators who may be present in the classroom.
-
Review Rules (10 minutes) - Present a visual aid of the classroom rules that have been set by the school and/or classroom teacher, such as raising your hand when you want to speak, not talking while the teacher is speaking, cleaning up after class, and respecting others’ opinions. - Ask students why they think these rules have been put in place. - Allow time for the students to discuss their understanding and explain to them why the rules have been set (e.g. the rules keep the classroom environment safe and respectful).
-
Role Playing (15 minutes) - Explain to students that they will be role playing different situations that occur in class and why it’s important to follow the rules in each situation. - Divide the students into different groups and give each group a scenario (e.g. A student asks an inappropriate question or a student finishes their work early). - Ask each group to come up with two different endings for the scenario (one ending where the rules are followed, and one ending where the rules are not followed). - Encourage students to think critically about why the ending might be different depending on whether the rules are followed or not.
-
Discussion (10 minutes) - Ask each group to share their scenarios and endings with the class. - Discuss why following the rules is important in each situation. - Ask the students to explain what would happen if they didn’t follow the rules.
-
Wrap-up (5 minutes) - Summarise to the students what was learnt in the lesson. - Ask if there are any questions and answer them. - Thank the students for participating and let them know that they can continue to refer back to the rules in the classroom.
