Process
Read carefully.  Read again if needed.
Do in order please!
1.  You have been divided into one of six groups in your classroom.  Each group has been assigned a trait of good character.  The six traits are as follows:  fairness, citizenship, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, and caring.  You and your group members will visit two websites the Six Pillars of Character and the Do's and Don'ts of Character.
2.  As a group print out one copy of the web and list at least 4 meanings for your character trait.
3.  Go to the book list and find your group's character trait.  Look over the books that cover your trait.  Each member needs to pick a different book from the list. 
4.  Read the book carefully, and write a paragraph that includes the following:
  • Name of book
  • The character trait shown in your story
  • What person/thing in the story demonstrates the character trait
  • How the character trait is shown in the story
  • Be able to answer the guided questions.  Your partners will see if you can answer them easily when you meet with them.
5. Share your paragraphs with your group members.  Make sure each member has correctly identified how the character trait was used and answered the guided questions.
6. The class will now meet before sending you off on your final task.  Your group will show your books you read, summarize the book, and explain what your character trait means by presenting your notes on your web.
7.  Based on all your character knowledge, you know now what it takes to be a true hero.  It's your turn to nominate someone for a hero award. 
  • Think of someone in your life who is your hero. 
  • Write a paragraph that persuades us to also believe that they are a real life hero.
  • Include 2 character traits they possess supported with examples.
  • Write in an organized manner.  (have a beginning, middle, and end)
.  Read your nominations in your group.  Vote to determine your group's favorite hero.
