Students will learn about the meaning of responsibility by looking up definitions in dictionaries and discussing responsibilities with partners. They will then model responsibilities in plasticine that satisfy three characteristics: being done at the right time, perfectly, and with a good attitude. Working with plasticine teaches values like responsibility by having students physically shape concepts and remember images to recreate later.

1. PLASTICINE TO TEACH
VALUES “RESPONSIBILITY
Norma Bastidas

2.  Students must know the meaning of the word
responsibility. It’s a good idea to ask them to
search the meaning of this word in a dictionary.

3.  Divide the class into groups of two and ask
students to compare the definitions and find it
out the common ideas.
Duty
Obligation

4.  They are going to work with the same partner
and talk about their responsibilities.
Do my
homework…Feed my dog…

5.  Then I am going to tell students that this special
word “responsibility” has three characteristics:
 The activities that you consider your
responsibilities must be done at the
right time.
 Perfect, and
 With good attitude.

6.  Once they have it clear, they are going to choose
the responsibility that satisfies these three
characteristics and they are going to be able to
model it in plasticine.

7.  The plasticine that I am going to give them is
going to be modeled like in the pictures:

8.  Students have to model first the concepts.

11.  Then students have to model the image.

14.  After students have to read the concepts and
keep the images in a special file memory.

17.  Once they’ve kept the images in their minds, students
have to model the plasticine in small rolls again.
 This is another value implicit in the lesson. To leave
the materials in the same way that they received.
