YOUTH GROUP LESSON 75
|
||||||||||||
| SESSION PLAN: FOCUS: As the students are arriving, have the youth who are already present tell you one story from their week. After everyone has arrived, ask them to stand up in the middle of the room, then tell the following story: Imagine that your English teacher has asked you to stay after class. She shows you the recent test you took, along with your friend’s test. She says your answers are identical, which means one of you must have cheated. She tells you she knows that you are a good student, and she believes your friend cheated off of your test. She’s willing to give you full credit—she just had to let you know that your friend cheated. Now, you know that YOU are the one who cheated, but you also know that your friend doesn’t have the best reputation with the teachers, so it wouldn’t really ruin their reputation anymore to be caught cheating. You, on the other hand, have a lot at stake, because you are known as one of the best students in your class. Do you tell the teacher the truth and point out her mistake, or do you remain quiet, letting your friend fail the test? Ask students to move to the left wall if they would ‘fess up, and to the right wall if they would remain silent. Then ask them to explain their choice. After discussing the scenario, have everyone come back to the center of the room again and read the next scenario. You are an athlete playing your favorite sport. Your coach has subtly given you an unfair advantage over the other members of your team. You realize this. What do you do? Do you confront your coach, possibly threatening your good position on your team, or do you just accept your good luck? Ask students to move to the left wall if they would confront the coach, and to the right wall if they accept their good luck and stay quiet. Again, ask for explanations, then bring students back to the middle for the next story. Your friend tells you that last night he asked his parents what they would do if they caught him doing drugs, and he was yelled at and told not to ask that question again. He’s pretty upset about it. That same day, you plan on meeting him at his house after supper. You arrive at his house and see the lights on. Expecting him to be home, you knock and walk in, like you usually do. You hear some noise in the living room, and find his dad cleaning up what looks to be the remains of pot. He tries to cover up, but it’s clear what he’s been doing. He tells you not to tell anyone, especially not his son - your friend. Do you tell your friend when he arrives, or do you go along with the dad, pretending not to have seen anything? Continued... |
