The class rules to be very teacher driven and seems like they were made for the teacher to make their life easier in the classroom instead of the students. Essentially the rules were be quiet, listen, and make sure that your teacher is happy in the classroom, but what about the students? This list seems like it was obviously made by the teacher with no student input on the rules of the classroom. Although the use of images seems like it might be a fun way to personalize the rules, maybe including bit emojis and include student’s too as a way to make feel more relevant to the class.

These set of rules seems to be student centered and get them to think of their behaviors in the classroom. What I liked about this poster was that the students signed the bottom of it, so it became a pledge that they will keep. This seems like it would be a great way to end the activity where students help create the class rules. Even though there weren’t very many rules on the poster they seemed to cover such a wide number of situations.

Having the students become part of the process when creating the rules, I feel like they would come up with similar list like the second example. They would probably come up with rules that they would want other students to follow like work quietly, respect property, and make sure to always try your best in the classroom. They might need some more guiding than what we had as college students. The students would work in groups and they would probably have sections like we did that might include behavior, safety in the classroom, expectations for work and group work would all be subjects that would be discussed. An important part of this process is getting the list down, so that it is manageable and students can remember it with ease. As a group the students will decide what is important for them to include this way the list won’t be some number 40 and would be next to impossible to incorporate in the classroom.
