Throughout your students’ education and lives, they will indeed grapple with many choices that test their personal values, beliefs and priorities. They will encounter all kinds of situations where they must choose between doing what’s right and doing what’s wrong. This resource can greatly help students recognize situations that involve moral issues and practice becoming better decision-makers. Students will learn what steps they can take to help them navigate and resolve moral dilemmas effectively. The lesson plan and activities also provide students the opportunity to discuss what they would do in different moral/ethical dilemmas. Introducing moral dilemmas in the classroom can open up opportunities not only for debate and critical thinking, but also for personal growth, empathy for other viewpoints, and self-reflection.
The lesson, activities, and scenarios provide guidance for real-life situations. You can use these activities and scenarios as a basis for engaging students in conversations about making decisions between right and wrong, and even have them role-play ways of resolving moral and ethical issues. These activities can help students acknowledge why certain choices might be tempting and ultimately think about other courses of actions and responses that might be better (or that will lead to more positive outcomes).
