Date Lesson PlanLesson 1:September 10-14
* Introduction of coach(es)* Introduction of Character Education: “Doing the right thing, even when no one is looking”* Introduction of first trait (Attentiveness), its definition in blue on p.2, and its opposite (Distraction)* Skit/demonstration/explanation of someone who is attentive and then a skit/demonstration/explanation of someone who is distracted. What is the difference?* Explain and go over “I wills” (p.8)* Real life example: talk to the teacher beforehand about any school or class symbol or phrase used to get students’ attention (hand up, words used for lining up, getting quiet, etc.): practice!* Example of an animal with this trait: a deer (read beginning of article on p.4 in booklet or just talk about a deer and how it uses attentiveness to survive).* If time permits, have kids practice attentiveness by playing Simon Says (p.13).
Lesson 2: September 17-21
* Review character trait attentiveness, its definition, its opposite, and the “I wills” from last week.* See if students remember which animal displays this trait to survive and how.* Play the game Twenty questions (p.10), emphasizing that everyone will have to listen to hear what has been asked about the item.* Play the game “Sack of Stuff,” (p.10) in which the emphasis is on listening carefully. (Use items from around your house!)* If time permits, have kids practice attentiveness by playing “I’ve Got Rhythm” (p.13).
Lesson 3:September 24-28
* Review character trait attentiveness, its definition, its opposite, and the “I wills.”* Introduce Abraham Lincoln as a historical figure who displayed this character trait (p.6-7). This story would be most appropriate for children in grades 3-5. For children in K-2, you could either read an age appropriate book about Lincoln or show a picture of him and talk about how he was a great leader who listened well to others.* K-2 could also do the activity “Just a Glance” on p.12 using pictures/posters from home, and/or sing the song, “If You’re Attentive and You Know It.” (p.9), *Grades 3-5 could play the Attentiveness Challenge (p.13) if time permits. (Again, use items from around your house!)
