Sharing Class Standards
You will now be split into groups.
Each group will look at the suggestions, and discuss what the three best ones are. (You can add your own if you come up with a better one, or a way to combine a few together.)
Each group will then present their top three class rules or standards to the whole class.
Encourage groups to explain the rationale behind their chosen rules and facilitate a class discussion on the importance of each rule.
Identifying Common Themes
As a class, identify common themes or rules that appear across multiple groups' presentations.
Guide the students in finding commonalities and discuss why these rules are essential for a harmonious classroom.
Vote for Class Standards
Each student votes for their top three class rules or standards from the identified common themes.
Ensure that each student understands the voting process and emphasize the importance of their individual voice.
Reflection
Individually reflect on the lesson and write down one thing you learned about introducing yourself, one thing you learned about academic achievement, and one class rule you believe is crucial.
Allocate time for students to reflect on their learning and encourage them to express their thoughts in writing.
