Treating Others As You Would Like
To Be Treated
Trisha
Nelson Allen Road Elementary 4th
Grade
I.
Introduction-
You
are the teacher in a Fourth Grade classroom. The students in your classroom
continuously disrespect and treat each other poorly. What would you do? How do
you create a classroom where everyone treats others the way they would like to
be treated?
II. Task-
·
Your Webquest objective is to create rules for a
classroom in which students are consistently respectful of each other.
·
Use the PPA process to create rules for your
classroom. You will present the rules to the rest of the class using a
PowerPoint presentation.
§ You will
work in groups of 4 to research a PPA (Public Policy Analysis) related to
bullying in the classroom. First, you will take a survey located on my website
(http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3WF2DZ7).
·
In your PowerPoint you should have:
1.
A background slide describing the social issue (i.e.
bullying in the classroom).
2.
A slide describing the evidence that you gathered.
3.
A slide identifying the causes of bullying in the
classroom.
4.
A slide evaluating existing policies related to
bullying in the classroom.
5.
A slide brainstorming possible solutions to
eliminate bullying in the classroom.
6.
A slide stating the classroom rules that you
create.
7.
As a group you will present your Power Point with
the classroom rules to the class.
