    Class Expectations

    First lesson designed to establish my role as their teacher

    Developing Class Rules

    Subject:
    Class expectations

    Teacher:
    Lucinda Blom

    Learning Goal:
    Students will identify the class expectations and present their understandings of one as a drama
    performance.

    Success Criteria:
    Students can present an appropriate performance that demonstrates the class expectation. They can
    also identify other class expectations from peer performances.

    Resources:
     Post it notes
     Class expectation posters
    Lesson Content

    Tuning In:
    1. Ask students the question: why do sports need rules?
    2. List responses on the white board. Answers may include: so, it is fair for everyone, so it is safe,
    so teams are respectful of one another, so teams are responsible for their actions.
    3. Ask students: why does school need rules?
    4. Point out that they are similar reasons to sports.

    Teacher Instruction:
    1. Ask students: What are our class expectations (as seen on the posters).
    2. Students will be asked to think of what being [insert expectation here] looks like as they list
    them.
    3. Ask students to form groups of four for the next class activity; to be approved by the teacher.

    Guided/Independent Learning:
    1. Students will be asked to sit on the floor in their groups.
    2. Teacher to explain that students will be given a post-it note with one of the class expectations
    written on it. Students will be required to keep which expectation their group has a secret
    from all other groups in the class.
    3. Students will need to demonstrate their understanding of the class expectation by creating a
    minimum 2-minute-long skit/performance/scene that shows the expectation.
    4. Students will perform this skit to their peers back in the classroom. The audience will view the
    performance and identify which of the class expectations they believe was shown and why.
    5. Allow for 15 minutes to practice performance once settled outside.

    Wrapping Up:
    Students come back to the class and present their performance.
    Students have shown their peers and the teachers that they understand and can identify the class
    expectations. This means that they have an obligation to the teacher as well as their peers to uphold
    these expectations to make sure their learning is uninterrupted.

    Differentiation

    Extending Students:
    Students can be encouraged to make their class expectation a little less noticeable when performing
    to their peers to make it harder for them to guess.
    Supporting Students:
    Shy groups may record their performance and mirror it to the interactive whiteboard for the
    presentation portion of the lesson.
