be a good citizen.
 Activity For this activity the students will be introduced to SOL 3.11. The students will be
learning about the different ways that they can be a good citizen. I will start the
lesson by telling the children that we will be learning what it means to be a good
citizen. I will ask the class what does it mean to be a citizen? The children can
give responses and then I will explain to the children that being a citizen means
someone who belongs to a particular community, town, city or country. I will
next present to the class a book titled “Being a Good Citizen, A Book About
Citizenship” by Mary Small. I will read the book to the class. After the reading
we will talk about some different ways that the students can be good citizens.
This will be a time where students are able to share their thoughts and give
examples. I will also give the students different scenarios and they will decide if
the scenario is someone being a good citizen or if the person is not. After the
lesson is explained the students will be told that they are to create a comic
depicting different ways that they can be a good citizen. The student will go
home and create a comic strip stating ways they can be good citizens in different
situations provided to them.

Each student will create a 5-8 panel comic where they talk about different ways
that they can be a good citizen.
