rules

I usually set ground rules in this way. I have the kids sit in groups. (my desks are set us this way all the time) I have each students write down 5 rules they think we should have. Then I have them pass their papers to the right. They put 3 stars by the ones they think are important on that paper. They switch to the right again and do the same thing. They keep switching until they have their own paper back.
I then ask the groups to name the top 3 votegetting rules. We list them on chart paper in the front of the class. We then eliminate duplicates that may have occured or mean the same thing. | |
I then ask them if everyone agrees with these rules or if anyone wants to eliminate any of them for any reason. They have to justify their reasons. In the past 2 years I have never had anyone take one off. Then we come up with our top five rules that we can all agree on. We then all sign the rules and post on the wall. If someone is having trouble with the rule, we refer them to our chart that they signed and agreed to. Works great! Just an idea.
