For students
Four students are making a poster. Three have jobs. One person has nothing to do.
Give the fourth person a real choice. Try a new way to share jobs if they want the same job as someone else.
Draw: Sketch the pictures.
Write: Add the labels.
Check: Read the labels and point out anything missing.
For the counselor
2 min • Start. Say “Everyone needs a way to help that matters.” Read the poster scene.
6 min • Practice. Read the job cards. In pairs one asks “Do you want to draw or check the labels?” The other picks. Then have both want to draw. Rehearse “Want to split the pictures?” or “Want to take turns?”
2 min • Check. “What makes the invitation fair?” Sample: “Both people get a real part to do.”
Fictional examples are fine. Students can point, speak, or pass.
