Character Education: Self-Discipline (Grade 8)
Learners discuss why some people are able to meet goals and some are not able to do so. They also use a survey to determine a personal self-discipline score. The students define self-discipline by determining what it does and does not look like, sound like, and feel like. Learners associate a list of vocabulary words with self-discipline. They use quotations from author Sandra Cisneros to infer concepts of self-discipline. The learners imagine life changes one, four, and five years from the present time and determine skills and behaviors of self-discipline that will help them be successful in meeting goals for the future.
