Philosophies for Living:
Table Graph for Completion by Students. The idea behind
this Character Education exercise is that, over the course of a
unit, semester, or academic year, World History-Global Studies
students explore the philosophies of different times and places.
Once the chart is completed, or as it is being completed,
students openly discuss different schools of philosophy,
comparing and contrasting them. Students should be able to
then choose life philosophies for themselves based on their
personal beliefs (or create their own philosophies using other
philosophies as guides).
This is both educational (through
the exploration, etc.) and character building (by virtue of
encouraging students to have principles with which they guide
their lives and make life decisions). |
