ELA A9: Conflicts, Challenges, Issues, and Choices – Doing the Right Thing
ELA A9: Conflicts, Challenges, Issues, and Choices–Doing the Right Thing
- Multi-genre inquiry and interdisciplinary
- Social, Cultural, and Historical
English Language Arts 9: Saskatchewan Curriculum, Saskatchewan Ministry of Learning, 2008.
Whether at home, in school, or in society, we all face conflicts,
challenges, and issues. They force us to make choices if we are to do the right thing. Doing the right thing is always a challenge. Is it better to do the right thing and fail or do the wrong thing and succeed? By considering how others have dealt with similar conflicts, challenges, and issues, we can learn how to do the right thing.
Possible Questions for Deeper Understanding:
• What is the right thing to do? How do we know?
• What are our rights, responsibilities, and freedoms?
• What causes conflict or makes something an issue?
• How do individuals and groups best deal with and resolve conflicts and address issues?
• What qualities help people deal with conflicts and issues successfully?
