IB PYP - HOW WE ORGANIZE OURSELVES - COMMUNITIES -PLANNER & RESOURCES

State class rules and norms needed for a group to function, and follow shared essential agreements

Compare one's roles and responsibilities as a student and as a family member

Distinguish actions a good citizen does and does not take, and express the distinction in writing

Run the organization role play as the unit provocation — the listed settings (police station, salon, hospital, bank, fire station, mall, club) let every group take a different community organization

Let students derive the central idea themselves through the mind-map brainstorm on responsibility, harmony, and community before revealing the planner's wording

Prepare picture cards in advance for the good-citizen sort and the rights-and-responsibilities match — the instructions assume sortable pictures

Inquiry and discussion — students brainstorm, mind-map, and build the unit's central idea as a class.

Role play and presentation — groups pretend to run a community organization, assign internal roles, and present to peers.

Categorizing and reasoning — picture sorts separate good-citizen actions from poor ones, and rights are matched to responsibilities.
