Promoting Good Citizenship and Combating Antisocial Behavior

Year 7 PSHE Autumn 1: Working With Others Lesson 2: Antisocial behaviour Lesson 1: Being a good citizen Antisocial behaviour is any behaviour by one person that causes alarm, distress or harassment to one or more persons not in the same household as him/herself. 1. Make a mind map of as many examples of antisocial behaviour as you can think of 1. What do you think it means to be a good citizen? Make a mind map of your ideas 2. Look at the image on slide 2 and read the information box. Complete the tasks in the purple box For each one that you thought of, write next to it who the victim would be (who would be affected?) and what the consequences might be (what might happen as a result?). There is one done on slide 4 for you as an example. Challenge: circle the worst consequences. Why are these the worst? 2. 3. Read through the boxes on slide 3, containing information about different ways that you can be a good citizen. Complete the worksheet here based on the information. You will need to save this into your own area first. 4. Write a letter to a friend explaining to them how they can be a good citizen and why you think it is so important. You should include examples of how to be a good citizen, as well as explaining the impact of this. 3. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npqVIUmEWYE and make a note of any crimes that you see, as well as explaining how it is antisocial Take it further! 4. This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2JJK06ZNyE tries to reduce antisocial behaviour. How does it try to do that? What else could be done to reduce antisocial behaviour? Make a note of your ideas. It is important that we behave respectfully in our community, and expect others to treat us with respect, too. In particular, we should treat authorities such as the police with respect. Why do you think this is so important? 5. What things can you do to ensure you are a respectful citizen? Make a poster to show some of your ideas.

Information: A good citizen is someone who contributes positively to the community that they live in. They make the place that they live in better. 1. 2. List as many examples of being a good citizen as you can see What might the effects of the actions of the people in the cartoon be on others and the area around them? What might the consequences of the actions of the people in the cartoon be on themselves? 3. Challenge: What else could be done by these characters to show that they are good citizens?

Helping Charity Following the Law Being Tolerant of Others Britain is a multicultural society and this means we benefit from having a diverse (wide) mix of people and cultures with a mix of beliefs, values, backgrounds and religion. These differences make us more interesting and mean that we can learn from others. When people are not respectful or tolerant of others, this can lead to unhappiness, conflict and even violence. We have to respect other people s cultures and beliefs, even if we don t always agree with them. Charities are organisations set up to help people in need and operate locally, nationally and internationally. Governments don t always have enough money to support all charities so they rely on money donations and fund raising. Studies show that giving to charity helps the giver as well as the charity itself as helping others, whether giving money or time can make people feel valued and useful. Helping charity can also improve our own communities. There are many laws in Britain today that prevent people from doing things that harm themselves, others or their community as a whole. When a crime is committed, it can have a massive impact on the victim, even when the crime seems less severe. When a person is arrested and charged with a crime they will either go to a Magistrates court or Crown court and if they are guilty the judge will decide their punishment by following a set of legal guidelines to make it fair. Being a role model Encouraging others Working with others Working with others can be difficult sometimes, particularly when you have different ideas. It is a really important skill you need for life. In school you will have to work with people you may not know or like and as an adult you will have to do the same. No matter who you are, someone will be looking up to you. That might be younger brothers and sisters, friends or even the country as a whole. The Prime Minister has to be a great role model for everyone in the country! Being a good citizen can make you a good role model. When other people see someone helping others, working for charity or supporting their community, they may do the same. Sometimes people feel unsure about trying new things. Did you feel nervous when you started Mayfield? You might have appreciated a friend or family member telling you that you were going to be fine. Perhaps they gave you a pep talk before you set off for your first day. Encouraging other people has a positive impact on both parties, the person being encouraged feels more relaxed and safe, and the encourager can walk away knowing they have made someone else s day nicer.

In pairs, come up with as many examples as you can think of. This can be antisocial behaviour around the school or the community. Next to some of your ideas, jot down who the victims are and what the consequences would be Challenge: circle the worst consequences. Why are these the worse? Explain your ideas to your partner. Victims: passers by Swearing in the street Consequences: gives teenagers a bad name Examples of antisocial behaviour
