Objective:

Students will understand that the way the outside world sees teen drivers is very different than from the way teens see themselves.  Students will create a poster that compares and contrasts the two different viewpoints. Students will create a personal driving mission statement.

Materials:

1- Poster Board - 1 for each group

2- Markers

Time:

1 period plus homework

Procedure: 

Divide into small groups of 3-4. Have students create a poster with the following elements:

1.  A graphic that demonstrates how the “typical” teen driver is seen by the outside world.

2.  A graphic (graphic can be a drawing, words, picture, etc..) that demonstrates how teens see themselves as teen drivers.

3.  A VENN diagram that compares and contrasts the two viewpoints.

4.  A set of  “I will/ I will not” statements that will change the way adults see teen drivers.

5.  Create personal driving mission statement. This mission statement should reflect the “I will/ I will not” statements created by the group.
