Guiding Questions:
What is a community?
What do communities need?
How can you contribute to your community?
The purpose of this lesson is to create a strong foundation upon which to build classroom
culture and community. Students will learn how to work together as an effective team,
how to take responsibility for their own actions and help others, and how to apply these
skills inside and outside of the classroom.
Activity:
1) Using the Smart Board build a bubble map starting with the word community. Have
students discuss the term and its meaning at KM and how it can be helpful to them.
2) Break your advisory into 4 groups and assign a secretary and group leader for each
group. Have the groups answer the following questions:
 What do communities need?
 What are some rules school communities have that help students achieve success?
 What do members of school communities have in common?
 What are members of communities responsible for?
3) Bring the groups back together as a whole and discuss definitions and contributions
from the bubble map and from small group discussions. (Talk about the fact that
communities can be neighborhoods, churches, schools, classrooms, friends at work. List
similarities between different types of communities to develop a list of community
characteristics. For example: people that feel they have something in common, work
together, have similar needs, etc. Talk about how a classroom can be a community. What
might they all have in common?)
4) Play the ROYAL Community Bingo Game to help student find what they have in
common with each other and what activities and sports they are interested in. Students
need to fill in the blanks and call out ROYALS when they have completed a row.
Students who get correct answers in a spaced associated with their “ROYAL row” get
extra points.
5) Play the KM Promo Video (T:\All Staff\Workspace\07-08 Advisory\9th grade
