Introduction:
We all
know this quote:
“I have a
dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they
will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their
character.”(Martin Luther King, Jr.)
What does
the word character mean? What does knowing this word have to do with
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)?
Lesson:
You are to
define the word character by listing all of the traits that a person should
possess in order to have character. You will have to do some research but if
you are successful you will find at least 8 traits (we are calling them
elements).
What you should do: Open a Microsoft word document and
write the elements/traits that you think make up the word character. For each
trait:
1. Define it
2. Give an example of how this
trait/element is shown by someone who possesses it
3. There should be 5 to 8
traits/elements
4. Raise your hand when done so that
you can review your work with the teacher
Save this
document in your Z drive as your name character research (example
Tom character research)
