**Learning Objective** Social Studies Competency Goal 1: The learner will identify and exhibit qualities of responsible citizenship in the classroom, school, and other social environments. ===** 21st Century Skills: Analyze and Create ** **Cognitive Type/Skills: Conceptual and Procedural ** **Activity: ** ===  Students will work with a partner to develop a set of rules for a brand new school. Each student will come up with 5 rules and then he/she will share their 5 rules with a partner. After each partner has shared, the group will then determine which 5 are the most important to keep. Students will use Scholastic Keys to design a power point of the rules. Each rule will be typed on a slide with an illustration/clip art picture to match the rule.  The students will upload their power point to Voice Thread and will record each rule and their reason for having this rule to each slide of their presentation.


 * Resources: Before the activity a great book to read would be The Topsy Turvey Kingdom and discuss the importance of having rules. Students will need a sheet to record their five rules down as well as space to record the five rules the group of partners decide to use. Students will need to be familiar with how to use Scholastic Keys and Voice Thread in order to complete the project. The project should take about three 45 minute class sessions. **
