The Standard

Identify rights that people have and the responsibilities that accompany these rights.

2026 Indiana Academic Standards: K-12 Social Studies

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students name rights people have, such as being safe and having a chance to learn. They name actions that help protect those rights for others.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can explain that everyone should be able to learn, so classmates need to let others work. They know that breaking a rule does not take away a person's rights.
Common Misconceptions: Some students think a right means they can do anything they want. Others think people lose their rights when they break a rule, or that responsibilities are just chores.
How to Assess It: Use this exit ticket: “Maya is trying to read while classmates shout. Name one right Maya has and one responsibility her classmates have.”

Lesson moves

Give pairs picture cards of children reading, speaking, and playing safely; have them match each picture to an action that protects others.
Ask, “Does someone still have the right to learn after breaking a rule?” Have partners explain their answers.
Play a card match game: pair “chance to speak” with “listen to others” and “chance to learn” with “let others work.”
At the classroom reading corner, ask students to show how they can help everyone read without interruptions.
