SOL
Civics 2.10 The student will explain the responsibilities of a good
citizen, with emphasis on a) respecting and protecting the rights and property of others; b) taking part in the voting process when making classroom decisions; c) describing actions that can improve the school and community; d) demonstrating self-discipline and self-reliance; e) practicing honesty and trustworthiness.
Activity to use in the classroom: Inside the book there is a glossary of vocabulary words associated with voting. As a follow-up activity, the students will be required to use at least five of the words in the glossary to make a pamphlet or brochure pretending they are running for president of the class. They will expand on their vocabulary as well as practice their writing skills through this activity.
Activity to use in the classroom: Working Together really emphasizes students cooperating with one another and completing tasks together. It discusses citizenship and actions that can improve the classroom community, which is stated in SOL 2.10. There are many activities you could do with students based off of the message given in this book. Students could perform any type of activity that involves working together that shows them how cooperating can lead to great end results. Examples include: making oobleck, making cookie dough, creating a project or science experiment, and so on. All of these activities could be cross-curricular.
