Traits of a Good Citizen Role Play
Directions: Students will be assigned a partner and a prompt. The students will be given about
10 minutes to practice their role play presentation. The students will be provided the checklist I
will use when grading their presentation. I will read the checklist and the prompts out loud and
check to ensure all students understand the activity.
Objective: Students will be able to convey links and connections between events and
communicate such relations with others.
Note: Before this assessment, we would have made a graphic organizer about how to play fair,
have good sportsmanship, help others, and treat others with respect. We also would have
completed a variety of practice role plays.
