    The lesson plan aims to help students understand the qualities of a good citizen. Students will individually identify good citizen qualities on a chart and then discuss as a class to group qualities into categories like obeying laws, voting, volunteering, and civic participation. To check understanding, students will complete a citizen knowledge survey to assess their familiarity with civic behaviors and responsibilities. The teacher will review expectations, have students brainstorm citizen qualities, and administer the survey over three class periods.
