“ADDICTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY” — 3rd Grade (Primary)
Main Issue: Students will learn about different addictions present in their community.
Scenario: School setting
Methodology: Community-Based Learning
Articulating Axis: Healthy Living
1. Phase 1: Planning
| Moment | Duration | Activities | Description & Adaptation for 3rd Grade |
|---|
| Moment 1: Identification | 1 hour | Discussion Circle: What is an addiction? | Use simple language, pictures, and examples children understand (e.g., sugar, video games, smoking). Students share what they know about habits and dependencies. |
| Moment 2: Recovery | 1 hour | Storytelling & Reflection: Read a story about a child who learns healthy habits. | Use stories with illustrations showing healthy vs. unhealthy habits. Encourage children to talk about healthy choices they make. |
| Moment 3: Planning | 1 hour | Group Brainstorm: List possible addictions in their community (e.g., smoking, alcohol, drugs, excessive video games). | Guide students to think about local places or behaviors they see. Use pictures and simple notes for brainstorming. |
2. Phase 2: Action
| Moment | Duration | Activities | Description & Adaptation for 3rd Grade |
|---|
| Moment 4: Approach | 1 hour | Community Map Creation: Draw a map of the school and nearby areas. Mark spots associated with addictions (e.g., stores with cigarette ads). | Use large paper and colorful markers. Students work in small groups to help them understand their environment visually. |
| Moment 5: Comprehension and Production | 2 hours | Role Play & Poster Making: Students create posters about healthy living and avoiding addictions. Practice role-plays about saying “No” to bad habits. | Provide templates and images for posters. Use simple scripts for role-play to build confidence and understanding. |
| Moment 6: Recognition | 1 hour | Class Presentation: Share posters and role-plays with classmates. | Encourage students to speak slowly and clearly. Use peer support to boost participation. |
| Moment 7: Correction | 1 hour | Feedback & Reflection: Discuss what was learned. Correct misconceptions gently. | Use praise and simple questions to reinforce learning. Highlight positive behaviors. |
3. Phase 3: Intervention
| Moment | Duration | Activities | Description & Adaptation for 3rd Grade |
|---|
| Moment 8: Integration | 1 hour | Community Poster Display: Create a large poster with tips for healthy living and avoiding addictions. | Display in the classroom and around the school to promote awareness. Use visual symbols to reinforce messages. |
| Moment 9: Dissemination | 1 hour | Mini Campaign: Students prepare short presentations or songs about healthy habits to share with other classes or parents. | Use simple language, catchy phrases, and visual aids. Practice in advance to build confidence. |
| Moment 10: Considerations | 30 minutes | Discussion & Reflection: Talk about what they learned, how they can apply it, and why it’s important. | Use open-ended questions and encourage children to share personal stories or commitments to healthy living. |
| Moment 11: Progress | 30 minutes | Follow-up Activity: Keep a “Healthy Living Journal” for one week to record healthy choices. | Provide simple journal templates or stickers to track habits. Review progress at the end of the week. |
