Lesson plan: DAILY—PASSPORT
DAY 1
  • Divide group in two—boys in one group, girls in the other
  • Warm-up—work with a partner to create a list of top five things students dislike about restroom (give ideas like how did it look? Smell? What kinds of things happened that should not have?”)
  • Have partners share their lists, and record one big list. Work together to rank the overall top 5 things students dislike about restroom and discuss ways to fix those things.
  • Hand out rules/expectations and go over them, discussing details or examples students offer
DAY 2
  • Keep same boys/girls groups from Day 1
  • Review Day 1 (examples/non-examples)
  • Divide students into two groups within boys/girls groups. Have a group send an illustrator to front and pick a non-example behavior from envelope. Student then tries to draw it (no words!) and get his/her group to guess the non-example behavior in one minute. If they can’t guess, the other group gets 30 seconds to guess. Once non-example behavior is identified, discuss the corresponding desirable behavior. The next team then draws an undesirable behavior, and the game continues until time runs out.
  • Summarize rules/expectations
