The lesson “Independence Means Responsibility” teaches children to apply self and social awareness in making responsible and wise life choices, and how growing with independence creates more life responsibility. The children will discuss and name ways to take personal responsibility by making good decisions in difficult situations. Each child will describe at least one situation in which it is wise to ask for help instead of trying to make the decision alone, as well as explain appropriate and fair corrective measures for poor decision making. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 39th lesson in the 2nd year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Leadership Preparation” unit.
