Lesson Format
Each lesson has three components:
- An introductory story of an unresolved moral dilemma. Students are given the opportunity to reflect on possible solutions and think about the moral issues involved.
- A written activity that reinforces the character traits used in resolving the dilemma.
- A second story of a moral dilemma for class or homework. The goal is to build student character by repetition—moral dilemma, reflection activity, and application of the character traits to a second story.
