The learners define courage and describe the identity of someone with courage. They describe courage with words that show what it is and what it isn't.
The purpose of this lesson is for the learners to reflect on how philanthropy, enlightened self-interest, and caring are related and to determine why and how they will "care" in the future.
Learners determine different ways that they show caring. They write the things they care about in word webs related to "how" they care about each thing.
