Instructional Procedures

Explain to students that we need to have personal role models. They are good examples and people to follow.

First, the teacher will lead a mini-discussion about role models. Who are they? Can you name some? What are some characteristics of a positive role model? What are examples of negative role models?

Have students draw pictures, with materials provided, of people they look up to (ie-family, friends, famous people)

Close by wrapping up discussions and have students share their pictures.
