Teachers, save “Accepting Rules and Authority: Being Tru…” to assign it to your class.

Learning Intention: Understand that being trustworthy is whether a person does what they promised or are expected to do. What happens when you are sent to do a job? Will you do what you are expected? Your teacher trusts you to behave or do the right thing without being explicitly told what to do. This lesson is about knowing which behaviours may or may not make others trust you. Thinking questions: 1. What does "trust" mean? 2. If I say that a person is "trustworthy", what does that mean? 3. What is supposed to happen when you or another student is asked to do a job or given an instruction? 4. Why do some people take longer or fool around when they are not being watched by a teacher? 5. Do you think it is important for yourself to have a reputation for being trustworthy? Directions: Read about the characters and decide whether the person is being trustworthy.
