Exploring Character

By R.E. Myers. You borrow a friend's saw and break the blade. You replace it, but should you tell him? Your teacher mixes you up with another student and invites you to represent the school at a conference. Should you tell the teacher or let her discover the error later on? Twenty-nine stories explore these and other character dilemmas about integrity, kindness, trustworthiness, courage, goodwill, openness, industriousness, cooperation, and friendship. A teacher's guide and reproducible student-response or activity handouts accompany each story. Grades 5–8. Index. Illustrated. 8½" x 11". Good Year Books. 156 pages. ©2006. GDY315.
