Overview
The detailed activities that follow help students learn that an important
feature of a community is positive interaction among its members. As an
introduction, students observe three role-plays by older students, each
illustrating a different theme–no interactions, positive interactions and
negative interactions. Students role-play these different forms of interaction
in a typical classroom situation. Based on these experiences, students learn
that a supportive community requires interaction among members and that the
interactions must help people meet their needs. Using a story and accompanying
drawing about a group of people, students identify the people, places, things
and activities in the scene. They must then decide whether or not the group's
interactions are positive. After a practice example, students consider new
situations and determine which groups represent a community with mutually
beneficial interactions and which do not.
