Concept/Topic to Teach: The value of keeping a promise
Standard Addressed: Health Literacy/Responsible Health Behavior/Standard 1: The Student Knows Health-Enhancing Behaviors
General Goal(s): For the students to better understand the value of a promise.
Specific Objectives: For the students to gain a better understanding of the value of a promise and how those who do not keep their promises receive no reward.
Required Materials: The promise paper, a writing utensil
Anticipatory Set (Lead-In): My lead in is on the promise papers which I have provided. It asks students to recall how they felt when someone promised them something and let them down. Chances are that they too have hurt someone by failing to live up to a promise as well. Now they have the chance to make up for it!
Step-by-Step Procedures: Students are instructed to choose a partner and make a promise to them that can be fulfilled by the end of the day. For example, the student may promise to say one nice thing to their classmate. After writing their promise down on the promise paper (located at the bottom of each worksheet) they are to give their paper to their partner and carry on with class as usual. At the end of the day they are to check back with their partner and see if they have kept their word. Those who do will receive a reward (candy!)
