Task #3: Designing a Five-Step (Rewards or Consequences) System
Now we will focus again on Behaviour Triangles. With your class, think of your own 5-step system for rewards and consequences. Each Behaviour Triangle will then have 5 steps.
Create 2 Behaviour Triangles; one with Rewards (for good behaviour) and one for Consequences (for behaviours that you do not want in the classroom).
Write your 5 steps in your Behaviour Triangles, starting with the most commonly used response at the bottom and working up, towards the top of the triangle. Each step will have bigger rewards or more serious consequences. Display your Behaviour Triangles in class and refer to them every time a learner deserves a reward or needs a consequence to help them improve their behaviour.
Read the possible ideas for ‘rewards’ and ‘consequences’ below. You may want to use some of these ideas. Afterwards, reflect on the following questions and share with your WhatsApp group:
1. What worked well when you were making your Behaviour Triangles?
2. What would you do differently next time you create Behaviour Triangles with a class?
Take a photo of your Behaviour Triangles and post it on the WhatsApp group.
When learners behave well - REWARDS | When learners misbehave – CONSEQUENCES |

REMEMBER to always give learners a warning first. Be
clear that their behaviour is unacceptable |
