__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
Show students what happened to the cookies when they come back after lunch. Make a list of how students feel about what happened and their reactions. Discuss rules and WHY we have rules. Why is it important to be a good citizen? Was the person who destroyed the cookies being a good citizen?

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
Get out the second tray of good, unruined cookies. Have students eat their cookie. Have students make smiley and frowny face stick puppets.

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
While students are eating their cookie, give them scenarios and have students hold up smiley and frowny faces to show if the scenario is a good situation or bad situation.


 * Adaptation: To shorten or simplify the lesson, teacher could skip making the stick puppets with students. They could show thumbs up or thumbs down.
