I will kick off the discussion with a question. Each student will then use the "comment" to add to a string of comments. Don't add a new whole new post, just use the comment button.
So, let's test it with this post. Add a comment, put your name, tell any moral "code" that you consider almost a reflex, it doesn't matter how simple it may seem--and if there is a source that you connect to this. For instance, I never kill a spider on purpose. I will kill a mosquito but never a spider and it all goes back to Charlotte's web.
My name is Laura Lightfoot and I live by the moral code of helping other whenever possible. This is probably linked to my goal of becoming a teacher by which I would be helping others learn and achieve success.
ReplyDeleteI'm Gabby Williams and I try to live by the code of treat others how you would like to be treated. I think people often forget how they would feel if someone treated them the way they treat others
ReplyDeleteMy name is Eugene Rinehart, and my moral code is to give all people the benefit of the doubt. People tend to be good. It is when others assume otherwise that people go bad.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ana and the moral code that I strongly believe in and live by is to appreciate everything that has been given to me,done for me or happened to me, including negative things. This ranges from a stranger holding the door open for me and losing something that I cherish to all the people in my life who have sacrificed something so that I would be better off.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Chrissy, and the moral code that is a natural part of my life is to lead with your heart, not your mind. As a dancer, this idea is deeply entwined in my personality.
ReplyDeleteI'm Lauren, and my basic moral code is to give people a chance. We have all undoubtedly experienced the feeling of being judged before even getting a chance to show our true selves. I think the world would be a much easier place in which to live if only we weren't so hard on each other.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so... new post for this week, but i cant figure that out. Anyway, based in the reading "We make the road by walking," the authors say that teachers must teach in a way that gets the point across and gives specific examples out of social context, but does not impose the ideas of the teacher on the student. my question: remember a time when a favorite teacher may have imposed their ideas on you. has it affected the way you think today? For me, i had an english teacher that was a vegan and very liberal. comming out of her class, i not only inexplicaly loved Bruce Springstein, but looked at the world in a more sensitive and naturalistic way.
ReplyDeleteI finally got this to work.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll comment on Eugene's comment, which I found to be very true. In high school, it was almost a rule for teachers to prevent themselves from imposing their beliefs on their students. But I had a very liberal English teacher (who had recently moved here from Australia), and she was always trying to persuade us to follow along to her beliefs.
I found it almost offensive, but I tried not to let her opinions influence mine. They definitely got me thinking a lot more though.
