    Subject: SEL (Social-Emotional Learning)

    Lesson Length: 30 - 40 mins

    Topic: Responsibility

    Grade Level: 4, 5, 6

    Standards / Framework:

    Brief Description: Students will illustrate a classroom or school expectation in comic book style.

    Know Before You Start: Students should be aware of class rules and expectations.

    Hook:

    • Ask your students what rules and expectations they have in the classroom and school.
    • Have students start seated. When you read a rule, have students guess if the rule is true or false. If it’s true, students pop up. If it’s false, students stay seated. Play as many rounds as necessary.
    • Explain that it’s important to remind ourselves of our rules and expectations often and a great way to do that is to make visual reminders of them to hang in the classroom.

    Activity:

    • Have students create a comic depicting a class or school rule. Each comic should have the following:
      • Student’s avatar(s) following the rule.
      • Background should represent where the rule should be followed.
      • Dialogue should convey the rule or expectation.

    Closure:

    • Display student comics as a visual reminder of rules and expectations.

    Differentiation:

    • Allow students to use the text-to-speech feature. 

    • Provide visuals of responsible behavior and/or rules.

    • Print out rules and expectations for students.  

    • Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.
