Learners reflect on a role-play scenario demonstrating fair and unfair decision-making techniques. They identify behaviors that promote or create barriers to making decisions. A Dr. Seuss book provides a discussion starter.

We define what fairness means and compare and contrast definitions. Participants build empathy as they discuss others' experiences with fairness.

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. 

The learners brainstorm the effects of taking responsibility and not taking responsibility around issues they care about.

In this lesson, the learners define the concept of responsibility through personal reflection and discussion.

The learners examine the responsible choices of Lorenzo de Zavala who was a leader in Texas and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Through a choice of prompts, the learners reflect on and express their understanding of being responsible.

Using realistic scenarios to spark discussion, the learners discuss the importance and strategies of following through on responsibilities. 

The learners break down the steps of decision-making in taking responsibility and apply it to a responsibility that is harder to follow.
