    Standards / Framework:

    Brief Description: Students will use comic scenarios to discuss whether or not the characters are showing integrity.

    Know Before You Start: Students should understand what integrity is and the components of living with integrity.

    Hook:

    • As a class or in small groups ask students to discuss the following questions: 
      • When do you know something is right or wrong? 
      • How did you learn what is right or wrong? 
      • What if no one is looking? Do you still have to do the right thing?
    • Let students share their thoughts. Then explain the activity.

    Activity:

    • Read and discuss the sample comic.

      • Are the students in each panel showing integrity?

      • Why or why not?

      • How would you have handled the situation? 

    • This activity also works as a small group or independent pen and paper activity.

    • Have students create their own three-panel comic showing themselves in a situation where they acted with integrity.

    Closure:

    • Have students share their comics with a partner or in groups.

    • Have students journal about why always exhibiting integrity is challenging.

    • Explain why living in integrity is beneficial.

    Differentiation:
