Integrity and Me!
Learners demonstrate understanding of integrity by reflecting and writing in response to quotes or personal experience related to integrity.
The learner will:
- reflect on quotes or personal experience.
- write ideas on integrity to demonstrate understanding.
- In a display area post the definition of integrity - Knowing and Doing What's right.
- Student copies of Handout One: Reflection Assignment or teacher may copy the assignment on the board
Instructions
Anticipatory Set:
Read the definition on the board. Ask the students to decide which is more important -- knowing or acting? Discuss their answers: Why did you choose that?
Teacher: Today, you'll have the opportunity to reflect and write on one of these quotes OR write about a personal experience.
Read the quotes together.
Tell students to write a reflection in their journals about how one of the following quotes relates to the definition of integrity:
Quote #1: "Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do." --Don Galer
Quote #2: "Never separate the life you live from the words you speak." --Paul Wellstone
Quote #3: "The measure of a man's character (integrity) is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out." --Thomas Macauly
Or, they may choose to write on a personal experience: Write about a time when you demonstrated integrity. Describe how knowing and doing what was right made you feel.
