| Introduction | Students will be given a current event scenario, such as the Elian Gonzalez situation, they will be given links to the information necessary and then they will respond in (Email) Forum fashion to the events. They will be required to make a response within the guidelines of "Kohlberg's Morality Model" which will be provided on the website. | ||
| Intended Audience | Senior level students enrolled in a high school psychology course. | ||
| Goals & Objectives | To have students apply Kohlberg's stages of morality theory to current events. | ||
| Prior Knowledge / Experience | Students should be aware of Kohlberg's stages of morality and how to access the Internet and apply these skills to current events. | ||
| Complex Thinking Skills |
|
||
| Process Expectations | Students will take thier knowledge of Kohlberg's Theory and apply it to the assigned current events topic. Students should, upon writing response to the current event from the list of links given, be able to identify which stage each response is based on. | ||
| Product Expectations | Product 1: Response to a current event using one of the
morality stages that will be assigned to them in class.
Product 2: A second response to their peers orginal responses identifying which stage they believe their classmates were assigned. |
||
| Electronic Resources | Please see below. | ||
| Assessment | Each student will read all the responses which will be posted to the
website (anonymously) and will send me an evaluation of which stage of
morality they feel each reply is based on. Stages will be randomly
assigned to students in the classroom situation.
In this way they will be better able to understand Kohlberg's Morality Theory as it applies to real life. There are three parts to the grading process for this assignment. 25% will be based upon how well their peers were able to identify the stage they were assigned. 25% will be based on their completion of the assessment of their peers. 50% will be based upon their response to the current event within Kohlberg's Morality Model. Grades will be based on a clear and well thought-out paragraph. |
