On a scale of 1-3 (1 is not important, 2 is important, and 3 is very important), how important do you think it is for you to understand your workplace rights and responsibilities?
Did the level of importance change since completing the Xello lesson? If so, how?

Example:

I used to think understanding my workplace rights and responsibilities was (not important, important, very important).

Now I think understanding my workplace rights and responsibilities is (not important, important, very important).

If your thinking changed, what do you think caused this?

At the end of the lesson, have students revisit and share their answers to the inquiry prompts you posed at the beginning of class. Inquiry prompt examples:

How is school like a job?
Why is it important to develop good habits and attitudes while you're in school?
What skills do you use at school that you'll also use in the workplace?
What do you think would happen if you didn't demonstrate good habits or behaviours in the workplace?
If you were in charge of a company what do you think you would do if someone came in late every day?

Classroom discussion strategy:

I used to think: Now I think:

Encourage students to rate how important they believe it is for them to understand their workplace rights and responsibilities. Students can use a scale from 1-3 to rate importance. A rating of 1 equals not important, a rating of 2 equals important, and a rating of 3 equals very important.

Ask students if their thoughts about the importance of knowing their workplace rights and responsibilities have changed or stayed the same since completing the Xello lesson. Example: I used to think it was not important (a rating of 1) but now I think it’s important (a rating of 2).

If their rating has changed, what do they think caused this change in thinking? If their rating has stayed the same, why?
