W.A.L.T: Define Citizenship


W.A.L.T: Define Citizenship

Citizenship

A citizen is a person that belongs to a community where they all have something in common. You can be a citizen of a country, city or a group. For example, people who live in the same country, people in the same family group or people who go to Halsey Drive School.

Citizenship is when someone tries their best for their community.  A good and responsible citizen cares for their environment by picking up rubbish and not throwing their rubbish out of the window.  If there weren’t good citizens, then our environments would be like a landfill with 10kms worth of rubbish.

A good citizen is honest and helps other people. They are also a person who does the right thing and follows the rules.  If people didn’t follow the community’s rules things might get broken, people might get hurt and the community might not be a community anymore.

It is important to respect others in our community.  We show respect by caring for others, listening and treating people kindly.

Communities are made up of people that are diverse.  For example, our class is diverse because we are all from different countries and we look different.

We believe that being a good citizen is important because it means we can live in peace.  If everyone was a good citizen and we were helpful everyone will have a happy life.  If we weren’t good citizens it wouldn’t be a very nice place to live and the world could get destroyed.



Our definition is extended abstract because we have several ideas that we have explained and then we thought about citizenship in a new way.
