Role Models - Defining Positive Role Models

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Being able to identify what characteristics make a good role model is one way for students to better understand their own positive behaviors. The class brainstorms what characteristics make up a good role model, research a role model from the past, and then present their information considering how role models have changed over time.
