Lesson 4: Kid-Friendly CDVs
Handout 2

CDV Figure

  1. Draw a simple outline of a gingerbread person. The figure should be centered on the page and take up about three-quarters of the page.

  2. Write your assigned Core Democratic Value at the top of the page.

  3. Come up with a symbol that represents your CDV. Draw this symbol inside the outline of the gingerbread shape—where the heart would be.

  4. Write the definition of the CDV (or words that describe it) on the inside of the figure.

  5. On the outside of the figure, list actions or conditions that harm, or work against, the CDV.

  6. On the bottom of the CDV figure, build a foundation with bricks. In each brick, write something that supports your CDV. What actions or conditions make the value flourish?
