UNIT 1: WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP?

STUDENT'S WORKSHEETS

 

 

SESSION 2: HOW DO WE GET ORGANISED TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR CITIZENSHIP CLASS?

 

By the end of the lesson you should be able to:

  • Have all your Citizenship material properly organised
  • Agree on rules for the class

EXERCISE 1
The teacher is going to revise the cover of your Citizenship notebook. So put it on your table and be ready for her to have a look at it and give you a mark.  The more beautiful and neater it is presented, the higher mark you will get!!!


EXERCISE 2
Imagine we are lawyers now. We are going to write a contract in which the signing parts will be the pupil and his/her parents on the one hand and the teacher on the other hand. We should agree now on the contents of this contract, so that we have clear rules and consequently rights and responsibilities in the Citizenship class. Let’s try to negotiate and reach an agreement!!!

With your partner, write rules for the class. We will write different ones on the board from the pairs in the class and choose the ones that are going to appear in the final contract.

Examples:
I must always be organised for the class (pen, notebook, …)

I mustn’t distract others work

EXERCISE 3: Citizenship pupil contract

We, the pupils and the teacher of Citizenship, state that the rules below have been made and agreed by us. We think that they are fair and easy to understand. We will try to stick to these rules because we think they will help us work better together as a class. If the rules are broken, some punishment may have to be given. We will accept this punishment if it is fair and we deserve it.

1.
