SADD Rock the Belt 7th Grade Lesson Plan – TN Road Safety Standards

> SADD Rock the Belt 7th Grade Lesson Plan

Download the Rock the Belt Toolkit from the SADD website. Review the materials, then choose and implement two activities from the kit in your school to promote seat belt safety awareness.

Demonstrate best practices while occupying a vehicle (e.g., distracted driving, impaired driving, seat belt safety, appropriate seating arrangement, and pedestrians).

Describe how the presence of certain elements increases or decreases the risk of injury (seat belt decreases, distracted driving increases).

Students will be able to describe how different factors, like seat belts or distracted driving, impact injury risk.
Students will be able to demonstrate best practices for safety while in a vehicle, including avoiding distractions, using seat belts properly, and understanding appropriate seating and pedestrian safety.

What are some examples of distracted driving behaviors, and how do they increase the risk of injury for vehicle occupants and pedestrians?
Why is it important to promote seat belt awareness among your peers, and how can the Rock the Belt activities help achieve this goal?

Have students complete two “Rock the Belt” campaign activities, such as the Quick-Click Challenge, “Chalk the Walk”, Seat Belt Selfie, Duct Tape Safety Belts/”Fasten Show”, or School Announcements.

Review students’ completion of two Rock the Belt activities to assess their understanding of key vehicle safety concepts and their ability to communicate this information effectively.
