Responsibility

For our new unit, Sharing the Planet, "responsibility" is our driving concept. We started to discuss what responsibility is. We looked at the dictionary and as a class, defined responsibility as "doing the right thing." We made an anchor chart with the definition and discussed what it means to be responsible for ourselves, at home, in school, and for the earth.

The students went on to fill out a graphic organizer. They picked three of the four (myself, home, school, earth), drew a picture of how they were going to be responsible in that area of their life, and wrote about it. 

When they were done with their worksheet, they got to choose a badge (I had 2 types of badges for them to pick from) and they got to decorate it. I laminated it and they got to bring it home. They loved it! You could even make it into an actual badge by purchasing the plastic cover and pins. 

Let me know what you think! (: If you'd like the templates, shoot me an email and I will send you a copy! 

Enjoy!
