1 What Makes a Good Citizen? Classroom Ready Resource Overview Often, young people think of citizenship as involving only such activities as holding public office, voting, or serving on a jury. While these activities are important, good citizens also contribute to the common good in a wide variety of other ways. Literature provides a rich array of models of promoting the common good, models that this lesson draws upon. Following a brainstorm on what makes a good citizen, students analyze characters from literature to determine why they are good citizens. They then prepare a page for an alphabet book highlighting a characteristic of good citizens and illustrating how the character in their story showed that characteristic. This lesson addresses Illinois standard 14.c.1: Identify concepts of responsible citizenship including respect for the law, patriotism, civility, and working with others. Objectives Students will: Identify ways in which citizens contribute to the common good, Recognize characters from literature who contribute to the common good, and Identify and illustrate a characteristic of good citizens. Materials Student Handout, What Makes a Good Citizen? Materials for making the large pages of the alphabet book. Copies of several books that provide models of citizenship. Several that we recommend are described in the Companion Literature section, but the choices are almost limitless many of your favorite books could probably be used in this lesson. Biographies could also be very effective. Procedure 1. Open the lesson by writing the following question on the chalkboard: What makes a good citizen? Brainstorm with students the characteristics of a good citizen or actions that they think a good citizen would take. Post their answers on the chalkboard or on posting paper. Adapted from C Is for Citizenship: Children s Literature and Civic Understanding, by Laurel R. Singleton (Boulder, CO: Social Science Education Consortium, 1997). Used with permission of the author.
2 2. Tell students that some experts have given the following definition of a good citizen: A good citizen works for the good of all. A good citizen tries to protect our country and make it better. Help students understand this definition and allow time for them to react to it. 3. Explain that students will be reading several books. While reading, they are going to think about what characters in the books, if any, are good citizens. Depending on the age and reading skills of your students, you may want to have small groups of students read different books or you may want to read several of the books aloud to the class and then organize the students into groups, assigning one book to each group. Distribute Handout 1 to the groups and ask them to pick a character from the book they think was a good citizen. They should then use the handout to analyze why he/she was a good citizen. Allow time for groups to complete their handouts. 4. Next, tell students that they are going to make pages for a big alphabet book about citizenship. Each page of the book will show one characteristic of a good citizen (such as honesty or responsibility) or something that citizens do (such as voting or helping others). Distribute markers or crayons and large sheets of papers to the groups and allow time for them to create their pages. Display the pages around the room. 5. Allow time for students to look at the pages displayed. Give each group two or three minutes to explain their page. 6. Return to the brainstormed list that students created at the beginning of the lesson, asking students to consider how some of the ideas have been illustrated through the group discussions and the book pages. Would they add anything to their list? Would they take anything off? Enrichment Have each group of students use the experiences from this lesson to create a poster that shows the Model Citizen. The model might be created from the parts of characters in the stories; for example, a group might want their Model Citizen to have the heart of Ruby Bridges, the gentle hands of the barber who cleaned the willow tree loon, the feet of the marchers in the civil rights movement, and so on. When groups have completed their posters, display them where other classes can enjoy them.

As the adults stand by, the young man takes responsibility and washes the sidewalk. Carl the Complainer, by Michelle Knudson, illustrated by Maryann Cocca-Leffler (New York: Kane Press, 2005).

Dear Mr. Rosenwald, by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by R. Gregory Christie (New York: Scholastic, 2006). This book is based on actual events in the 1920s, when a philanthropist offered money to African American communities to build schools but only after they raised money themselves. For an impoverished community, this was a difficult task and the story of how they achieved it is moving. The Impossible Patriotism Project, by Linda Skeers, illustrated by Ard Hoyt (New York: Penguin, 2007). When his classmates build a papier-mache Liberty Bell, create Statue of Liberty costumes, and draw fabulous maps of the United States, Caleb cannot think of a patriotism project for the class display.

Make sure everyone in your group agrees. 2. What did this person do for the good of all? 3. What did this person do to protect our country and make it better? 4. Did the person do anything that a good citizen would not do? If so, list those things here. 5. Make a page for an alphabet book. The page should show why your character was a good citizen. For example, the page might say V is for Voting. Or K is for Kindness. Draw a picture that shows your character being a good citizen.
