Assessment:

Post-Assessment: Having the students hold up Good Citizen/Bad Citizen cards as their
classmates perform their skits
Procedures:
1. Instruct students to turn and talk about what they learned the day before about
citizenship. They should recall the ten ways citizens in their community can be good
citizens. They may also recall completing the graphic organizer that describes good
citizens.
2. Based on their conversations, briefly create a Good Citizens attribute bubble chart. In
the outside bubbles, students can help you generate a list of adjectives or verbs that
describe someone who is a good citizen. Some words you might include are: helpful /
responsible/ active / caring / care for their community / take care of others / volunteer /
etc.
3. Activity: Scenario Cards
Students will be acting out examples of good citizenship and bad citizenship. Explain
what a scenario is before beginning. Then, pass out the Good Citizen / Not a Good
Citizen cards to students. Read aloud the first scenario. Ask students to hold up the
card that matches whether or not the person in the scenario is being a good citizen or a
bad citizen. Call on 1-2 students to explain their reasoning before repeating this activity
with the next scenario.
4. Next, place students into groups of 3-4. Give each small group a scenario card. Have
them read through the scenario and discuss what is happening. Have them decide if the
scenario is showing good citizenship or bad citizenship. They then work as a team to
come up with a skit to present the story on their scenario cards to their classmates.
5. Call students back and have them present their skits to their classmates. After each skit,
students in the audience will hold up their Good Citizen/Bad Citizen Card to show
whether or not the skit they are watching is an example of good citizenship or bad
citizenship.

ESOL Accommodations:
With the Good Citizen/Bad Citizen cards have symbols to define good and bad to
visually assist ESOL students, as well as when grouping students for the skits put the
ESOL students who are performing well as well as do exceptional work so they can see
how they work and try to model. As well as give illustrations with the scenario card so
they can understand what is being asked to act out.
