Our class rules

Summary of task

Students discussed the role of rules in the classroom and were asked to propose lists of rules for members of the class to follow. The lists were word-processed and posted on the classroom noticeboard. One of these lists is provided as the work sample. Students then used stickers to identify the most important rules to be followed. The teacher collated the votes and the five most popular rules became the agreed core classroom rules for the year. The task took place in class during the first week of the new school year.
