Students read and role play 60+ contemporary "unfinished" moral dilemmas leaving the resolution up to your students. That leads into character-building discussion and writing activities that reinforce 30+ positive character traits.
Character traits include . . .
kindness
prudence
responsibility
sportsmanship
friendship
forbearance
loyalty
honesty
courage
cooperation
teamwork
pride
compassion
sharing
persistence
generosity
optimism
forgiveness
intolerance

Each unit's 3 components are 1) an introductory story to be considered
carefully, collectively or individually, before students attempt to finish it.
The way it is resolved reflects students' thinking about the moral issue involved,
building character. 2) A written activity is an important follow-up because
it reinforces the character trait. The content offers many discussion opportunities.
3) The story and worksheet are reinforced by a second moral dilemma for class
or homework. The goal is building student character by repetition - moral
dilemma, reflection activity, and application of the character trait to
a second story.
