Learners will reflect in writing on the role of the common good and honesty when rules are not clearly stated and people have different amounts of power.

Learners role-play familiar scenarios in ways that follow the rules and support straightforward communication and also in ways that do not support honesty. They discuss the value of rules or expectations for promoting the common good. 

Learners explore the meaning of playing by the rules and making personal choices that support the common good. They discuss how people could respond with honesty and dishonesty to the same situation. 

Learners may use either journaling or role-playing to reflect on the benefits to the community of truthfulness and straightforward actions. They analyze traits and actions of someone who has built a "good reputation."

In this lesson, learners brainstorm honesty and its value and benefits to the community, family, friends, and self.

Learners define honesty as fairness and straightforward conduct. They look for examples in a story and analyze the merits and mistakes of the main character.

Learners reflect on the relationship between courage and fear, and identify the different character attributes that guide us when facing a challenge.

In this activity, the learners get character snapshots of several different real-life heroes and look for patterns and lessons they can take away. 

Learners discuss the courage and traits of a classic hero from literature or movies like the Avengers, Hunger Games, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings.

Learners listen to the lyrics of the song "Hero" by Mariah Carey. They explore the feelings and actions that go along with being a hero.
