Tell the students that a good citizen is a person who respects others and their property, is helpful,
considerate, and willing to put others first, respects the environment and does not damage it in anyway,
and is well mannered and pleasant.
Add any other characteristics of a good citizen that applies directly to your classroom or community.
Ask the students for their opinions on these characteristics.
Divide the students into groups of 2-3. Ask them to think of a scenario and how a good citizen would
respond and how a bad citizen would respond. Example: You're at the grocery store and someone drops
their wallet. What do you do?
Have the groups present their short skits to the class.
After all the groups have presented, brainstorm on the board what makes a good citizen and what makes
a bad citizen.
Differentiation
Enrichment: For advanced students, let them write in their journals how they think a good citizen would
act instead of having them work on the worksheets.
Support: For struggling students, you can help them think of ideas for the skits or you can write down
scenarios on paper for them.
