This was my second class for high school and the one where I established class rules by using a modified version of bogglesworld's lesson.  Since I teach by myself, without any co-teacher support, this class was an essential class to do early.

Rules:

• Native Speaker brainstorms house hold rules with students via board work.  10 minutes.
• Native Speaker brainstorms soccer rules with students via board work. 10 minutes.
• Native Speaker introduces the 3 categories of rules and breaks down the rules on the board into Type 1, 2, or 3. 10-15 minutes.
• Native Speaker and students go over the language of the 3 categories and construct sentences with the rules on the board. 10 minutes.
• Class develops classroom rules for teacher and students.  20 minutes.

Notes:

• When brainstorming rule sets, student will often reply with ‘no this’ or ‘no that’ so sneak in the vocabulary that will be introduced later on in the lesson.
• The Fair Rules at Work worksheet is left as bonus material if your kids area really smart.

More information about my lesson format can be found here.
