1. Why do you think integrity is important?

Because  it is important to be honest and have people that rely on you.

2. How has your integrity or character been tested to the limit? What did you do in response?

By doing stuff that i don’t get told to do.

3. Do you think that integrity is a part of your nature? Do your instincts warn you when you are doing
something that doesn’t show integrity?

I think that when you are young you don’t really understand but when you are elder you know what is going
on.

Practical Thinking Questions:

1. Do you think the whole world could one day show integrity? If not, why might this be impossible.

I don’t think that you could get the whole world to do it.

2. Do you think our national and international world leaders display integrity? How and how not? Be specific.

I think that we sometimes do and don’t.

Critical Thinking Challenges:

1. Do you believe kids being really busy is a good or a bad thing? Why?

I think that kids being bussey is a good thing because they might not like it but if  you don’t do it then
you will get lazy and fat.

2. If you think bad, think of three solutions for this issue. If you think good, think of three ways to
encourage other kids to get busier! Do lots of work and don’t get lazy.

3. Think about the role of teachers and parents in encouraging extra-curricular activities. Is it up to them,
or to the kids themselves?  I think that parents should tell kids what to do.

Practical Tasks:

1. Ask your parents what they think is best, and what worked with you and your siblings. My Dad thinks
that it is good for me to do work otherwise I will get lazy.

2. Make yourself a schedule for this week that keeps you busy in the afternoon or when you would usually
have downtime. If it goes well you could make it permanent! Monday get ready for school. Get on the bus
get to school do work at school go home on the bus go on the farm and get calves go home and get
ready for scouts when Dad gets home we go to scouts.   

3. Research the positives and negatives of being a kid with a busy schedule. What are the short and long
term effects? Working, whether paid or unpaid, is good for our health and wellbeing. It contributes to our
happiness, helps us to build confidence and self-esteem, and rewards us financially. Because of these
benefits, it is important to return to work as soon as possible after an illness or injury.
