2 Taken from National Standards for Social Studies D. What are important responsibilities of Americans? Content summary and rationale An understanding of the importance of individual rights must be accompanied by an examination of personal and civic responsibilities. For American democracy to flourish, citizens not only must be aware of their rights, they must also exercise them responsibly and they must fulfill those responsibilities necessary to a self-governing, free, and just society. Content standards No governmental action, no economic doctrine, no economic plan or project can replace that God-imposed responsibility of the individual man and woman to their neighbors. Herbert Hoover (1931) Responsibilities of individuals. Students should be able to explain why certain responsibilities are important to themselves and their family, community, state, and nation. To achieve this standard, students should be able to identify such responsibilities as the following and explain their importance: personal responsibilities, e.g., taking care of themselves, accepting responsibility for the consequences of their actions, taking advantage of the opportunity to be educated, supporting their families civic responsibilities, e.g., obeying the law, respecting the rights of others, being informed and attentive to the needs of their community, paying attention to how well their elected leaders are doing their jobs, communicating with their representatives in their school, local, state, and national governments, voting, paying taxes, serving on juries, serving in the armed forces Taken from Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills Social Studies Pre-Kindergarten- Standard 1: The child will exhibit traits of good citizenship.

The stages of the writing process include prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. Standard 1: Writing Process. The student will use the writing process to write coherently.

Content and Instructional Strategies (please list the detailed steps of the lesson; be sure to describe instructional strategies used, What Do You Think or critical thinking questions, activities, and handouts): Complete Foundations of Democracy Responsibility Unit. Students will need information in unit to be able to complete writing activity.
5 Beginning of Lesson: Prewriting: Create word bank of ideas based on discussion when use Foundations of Democracy. See attached Responsibility Word Bank. Teacher: We have spent a lot of time talking about responsibility in our classroom lately. Today we are going to work together to come up with a list of words that you think of when we talk about responsibility. Who can tell me a word that they think of? (Teacher lists words that students provide in the Responsibility Word Bank.) Word choices can include, but should not be limited to: duty, respect, truth, rules, keeping promises, beliefs, benefits, costs, share, control, fair etc. Middle of Lesson: Using the Responsibility Word Bank and the words that you all brainstormed together, draft a We Are Poem using the pattern sheet provided. Teacher: Now we are going to use these words to create a We Are Poem. When we are finished with this poem, whoever reads it should be able to tell what our class thinks that Responsibility is. Teacher: Reads the pattern sheet to the class. Teacher: I am going to complete the first sentence using one of our words from the word bank. The beginning of the sentence says, In our class, we are. What could we put in that blank that shows that we are responsible? What is something that happens in our class that shows responsibility? Continue to fill in the pattern sheet using the words and ideas from the Responsibility Word Bank and the knowledge acquired from the Foundations of Democracy Responsibility Unit to complete the pattern sheet. Teacher should reference activities completed during the Responsibility Unit and characters that students learned about to help students complete the poem. Teacher: Upon completing the poem, teacher should choose one student helper to assist in the rereading of the poem. Remaining students should listen carefully to make sure that the poem makes sense. Teacher: After one full rereading of the poem, allow students to practice rereading it with you. Ask them for thumbs up or thumbs down at the end of each line to make sure that you all agree
6 that the poem is ready for Editing. When everyone is satisfied with the poem, edit it. Review it while looking for grammar rules. Have students read along with you to make sure that each sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with an appropriate punctuation mark. End of Lesson: Teacher: When the poem is revised and edited, publish the poem by rewriting it on a new piece of chart paper. Give students their own piece of paper and encourage them to create illustrations that represent responsibility and the poem that you have just written together. Create a bulletin board display in the hallway that showcases the class poem and illustration. Present the poem to other classes or teachers and staff. Reviewing and Using the Lesson: Extending the Lesson Encourage students to create a We Are Poem that focus on what they do as an individual to be responsible. This could be a homework lesson, or completed as a partner project with an older student. Enrichment Encourage students to create a We Are Poem from another person s point of view. Focus on people that you have studied throughout the year in different social studies lessons. For example, you might revisit a community helper unit. Students should choose a community helper and brainstorm what they do that demonstrates responsibility. They can then use the same pattern page to complete a poem using that person s point of view.
