Depending on the number of lesson plans received and accompanying handouts, the Partners Project may print short descriptions for lessons for the three grade levels. You will be able to contact the Partners Project for a complete copy of the lesson. Please send in any lessons that you feel were successful and worthwhile. In May, we will have available a compilation of the lesson plans used by Partners Project teams. In pairs students write their own definition of right and responsibility.
Students then look up the definitions in the dictionary.
Through class discussion about the definition of right and responsibility, students write a new definition for each word. Discuss how rights and responsibilities are related. In pairs, students write a list of classroom rights and corresponding responsibilities. Each group will present their lists to the class. The class then discusses and agrees on a list of class rights and responsibilities.
