Am I a citizen of my school?
So does that mean that I’m a
citizen?Of a city?
We’re citizens of SOMETHING,

community.That means you have many
different levels of citizenship!

You would need a pyramid the size of the ones in

STATEState constitutions usually repeat many of the rights listed in the U.S.
Constitution. But often they add more…

the right to a free education, or the
right for kids under 14 not to work.

CITY
Hey! I don’t see any rights in my school handbook. All I see is stuff kids aren’t supposed to do!
School Handbook
SCHOOL
I can answer that one!
Sometimes rights…
Rights
Responsibilities
…are the flip side of responsibilities.
So if the handbook says you can’t do something…
... it is silently giving the right to do something
else.
You have the right to bring
a regular wallet.
No wallets with chains!
So school handbooks are usually the opposite of the U.S. Constitution
because they list responsibilities instead
of rights.
Try out some examples of how
responsibilities can silently tell you what
your rights are!
“Do not throw food in the lunch room” is silently saying you have the right to :
Eat in the lunch room!
“Students must be seated during athletic activities” is silently saying you have the right to :
Attend athletic activities!
“No t-shirts with inappropriate slogans” is silently saying you have the right to :
Wear appropriate t-shirts to school!

The adults in

give you rights
that only apply at
home.

probably have the
right to eat the
food they buy, and
you might have the
right to watch TV

Laws that apply
only within a
city are called
ordinances.

四 Citizen Me! Worksheet
As I read this story aloud, please follow along.
Every time Bob exercises a right or fulfills a responsibility, write an “R” in the margin.
In groups, use the pyramid to fill out the back of the story page.
You can write two rights, two responsibilities, or one of each for every level.
When you finish, write one responsibility or one right that you will carry out before you go to bed tonight.
