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?

ELA B10: Equity and Ethics, Introduction
Equity and Ethics
- Who and What is Right?
- Empowerment
- Degrees of Responsibility
- Rights and Responsibilities
- Justice and Fairness
Life presents us with many problems and doing the right thing is not always easy or obvious. We are empowered when we (and our ideas) are appreciated, when our wants and needs are listened to and addressed, when we clarify our goals and values, and when we take action to achieve our goals. Expected to exercise rights and to address equity, we must consider our responsibilities to ourselves and to others. It is in this consideration that our ethics are sometimes questioned, and we must decide what is right, what is just, and what is fair. Justice and equality have been and continue to be part of life, and we dedicate ourselves to their achievement http://curriculum.gov.sk.ca/index.jsp?lang=en&subj=english_language_arts&level=B10
Unit Questions
- What are some of the factors that create inequalities? How have inequalities shaped our world?
- What is my role and responsibility in addressing inequalities?
- What is the relationship between rights and responsibilities?
- Who decides what is right? Why should we do the right thing? How can I act on the right thing?
- How does one become an ethical person?
