___ Activity 9 Due
November 3
Divide yourself into groups
of 3 or 4, but not with someone you have worked with in the past. Each
group is to create a set of 10 rules that would apply to everyone on the
school campus [students, teachers, principal, janitors, bus drivers ...
everyone]. These rules must be fair to everyone, deal with all matters
of school [sports programs, homework, grades, etc], and design them so
that the school would run more efficiently and effectively and everyone
would accept them. Only after everyone in your group agrees to the set
of rules can any specific rule take effect. You will be asking for rules
that are primarily “a league of friendship” between all parties at school. |
