Explanation:"The emphasis in the first years of schooling should be on helping children to become aware of the range of society's implicit rules. Students can begin by finding out what the rules are in different classrooms and families, observing how children respond to the rules, and recording their findings in drawings and notes. Discussions can focus on how the rules and behaviors resemble or differ from those in their own classroom or family. Such observations should introduce students to the idea of cultural diversity (though of course no such term should be used at this stage), and this impression should be strongly reinforced by the stories they read." (Benchmarks for Science Literacy p. 154.)
Before students can intelligently observe differences among rules in various classrooms, families, and countries, they must first be able to identify and reflect upon rules that are familiar to them. Although most students should be able to identify some of the school rules and rules in their families, they may not have been asked before to think about why groups create and follow rules. Most students understand that the rule to "not hit others" helps keep people safe. They may not have considered before that many different kinds of groups have this same rule, all over the world, because keeping people safe is a way of maintaining social order. Students are not ready to talk about the term "social order," but they are ready to think about why rules are important in groups.
This lesson incorporates activity ideas written and used by other teachers. They are ideas that have worked well across many classrooms and offer creative ways for encouraging students to participate in making their own classroom rules. The focus of this lesson will be on the most fundamental concept regarding rules—that rules exist to help people get along in a group and to keep people safe. The idea of this lesson is that students will benefit from writing some class rules together and from observing themselves and each other more closely. While they are a diverse group, they will all be faced with the same challenge of working together to create a set of rules they agree to follow. Having this kind of experience will help students with the future challenge of comparing group rules and with learning about cultural influences on people.
