This lesson aligns with the national standards for social-emotional learning, focusing on understanding personal behaviors and their outcomes.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Concepts | 5 mins | Introduce the topic of consequence. Discuss definitions briefly. Ask students what they think consequences are. |
| 2 | Group Discussion | 10 mins | Divide students into groups of 2. Each group discusses examples of positive and negative consequences from their lives. |
| 3 | Printable Card Activity | 5 mins | Distribute blank printable consequence cards to students. Instruct them to fill in a positive and a negative consequence they can think of. |
| 4 | Sharing and Collecting | 5 mins | Collect the consequence cards or randomly check what students have filled in. Provide verbal feedback if needed. |
| 5 | Reflection and Wrap-Up | 5 mins | Regroup and discuss what the students learned. Ask them to share one new thing they learned about consequences. Assign homework. |
Students will complete a worksheet reflecting on a personal experience where they had to face a consequence, without presenting it in front of the class. This will be collected the next lesson.
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about the topic of consequences. Can anyone tell me what you think a 'consequence' is?"
Wait for student responses.
"Great! Consequences are the outcomes of our actions, meaning that every choice we make can lead to different results. Some results can be good, and some can be bad. Can someone give me an example of a consequence they've experienced?"
Encourage a few students to share their thoughts.
"Awesome! Now that we have a basic idea of what consequences are, let's dive deeper into understanding them."
"Now, I want you to turn to a partner and discuss some examples of positive and negative consequences that you have experienced in your life. Remember, positive consequences are good outcomes from our actions, while negative ones are the ones that might not feel so great."
Give students about 10 minutes to discuss. Walk around to monitor the groups and provide guidance if necessary.
"Okay, time's up! Please come back together as a class and be ready to share some of the examples your group discussed."
"Next, we’re going to do a fun activity with consequence cards. I’ll hand out some blank cards to each of you. I want you to think of one positive consequence and one negative consequence from what we've discussed, and write them on your cards. You can use markers or colored pencils to decorate them if you’d like!"
Distribute the cards and allow students 5 minutes to complete this task.
"Make sure your cards are filled out and ready to share in a moment!"
"Now, I’m going to collect the cards, but first, let’s take a few moments to share our ideas. Who would like to share their positive consequence? And how about their negative consequence?"
Encourage a couple of students to share their examples.
"Thank you for sharing your cards with us! I’ll now collect the cards to review, and feel free to add in any extra thoughts if I come back to your card."
Collect the cards and provide some verbal feedback on the examples shared.
"Let’s gather back together and reflect on what we’ve learned today. Can anyone share one new thing they learned about consequences?"
Allow time for students to respond.
"Excellent insights, everyone! Remember, it’s very important to think about the consequences of our actions before we do them. For your homework, I want you to complete a worksheet about a time you faced a consequence. Please don't worry about sharing it in class; it's just for you to reflect on your own experiences. We’ll collect it in our next class. Does anyone have questions about the homework?"
Address any questions before concluding.
"Thank you all for your participation today! Have a wonderful day!"
