Activities
- Show the student different security camera images or pictures and discuss what they see. Ask questions like "What do you notice in these pictures?" and "Why do you think these cameras are important?"
- Draw a large circle on the whiteboard or chart paper to represent a security camera. Ask the student to brainstorm different places where security cameras can be found (e.g., school, store, park).
- Have the student draw their own security camera on the whiteboard or chart paper and label it with the name of a place where they think it would be important to have one.
- Discuss with the student how security cameras help keep us safe. Explain that they can deter bad behavior and help identify people who may have done something wrong.
