Moreover, the students could decide whether they wanted to take a responsibility or not, the benefit and deficit of taking a responsibility. The class management of the research is divided into four aspects, teaching management, class norms management, class affairs management, class environment management, which were based on the “Foundations of Democracy Series: responsibility” published by American Citizen Education Center. In the class management, the author expected the students to understand the responsibility as a class member and practiced it in a real-life situation. Through the action research and the method of qualitative research, data was collected, sorted, explained and analyzed by the author. The data included the observation records, interviews with parents, critical friends, and the students, the reflective journals by the author, the students’ works and journals, etc. The study provides some conclusions as follows： The ‘role playing’ activity in “Responsibility “curriculum could help the students to discuss responsibility issues more in-depth. Classroom discussion could helped both the students and the teacher to understand one another’ view point and brought all of the participants into another level of perspectives that none had expected. It’s worthwhile teaching method to be adopted. The students were involved in the process of the class convention. Students were much willing to follow the rules, class autonomy is no longer a dream.
