Activity 1: Discuss

We will close out the unit.

With your whole class, discuss these questions:

  1. What surprised you about the unit or your pathway?

  2. Did your beliefs change in any way? How?

Activity 2: Discuss

We will engage in a whole-class discussion to share our understanding of ethics and ethical decision-making in a variety of areas and consider questions that we might further explore. This will help us express our understanding of the themes of the texts we have reviewed and prepare for the Application Unit.

Review the Central Question:

How do we determine the right thing to do?

Respond to the following questions:

  1. How did the texts in this unit help you understand or think about the Central Question?

  2. What avenue of analysis did you take on your Culminating Task and how did it relate to the Central Question?

Activity 3: Listen – Write

We will examine and discuss possible connections among the unit, other units from the year, and the research we might choose to do in the final Application Unit.

Follow along as your teacher overviews the Application Unit and the collaborative and independent research project you will be doing to complete the year’s learning. Ask questions about what will be expected of you and what options you will have for completing the culminating project.

Individually, reflect on what interested you during this unit and what you might want to explore further. Capture these reflections on the Application Unit Potential Topics Tool. Use the following questions to help guide your reflection:

  1. Were there any particular topics or texts that captured your attention? Why?

  2. What about each text or topic do you still want to study? What questions do you still have? Write these down in the Questions or Subtopics to Explore column.

  3. How would you begin to research each text or topic?

As a class or in groups, have a final discussion about what engaged you in this unit as well as what and how you might want to study further for the final Application Unit.
