Learners use a decision-making model to identify the issues they feel most concerned about. With those in mind, they explore how perseverance and doing their personal best are more effective ways to address needs than looking at the short term.
Learners reflect on universal obstacles to persevering and write creative "one-liners" to help them face obstacles with creativity, determination, and humor.
In this lesson, the learners define the concept of responsibility through personal reflection and discussion.
Learners use respectful language to debate in a scenario that doesn't have a clear right and wrong choice. They try to persuade the group about what is the responsible thing to do.
Through writing, learners reflect on their own plans for taking responsibility rather than leaving things to others.
Some responsibilities are easy to follow while others require constant reminders. Which responsibilities are easy for you, and which ones are easy for your friends? In this lesson we explore the difference between people and types of responsibilities.
The learners break down the steps of decision-making in taking responsibility and apply it to a responsibility that is harder to follow.
We define what fairness means and compare and contrast definitions. Participants build empathy as they discuss others' experiences with fairness.
Learners define the meaning of impartial and connect it to fairness through the use of a Frayer model graphic organizer.
Play a simulation game that illustrates each individual's power to take action for the good of others.
