Discussion Driver
-Introduce the word integrity (doing the right thing when no one is watching). What is an example of integrity?
-Do you agree or disagree with this statement- "It is easy to stand up for what is right." Why?
-What is hard about our motto- Say it. Mean it. Do it.?
**Bonus**
Let your class know that you will do Integrity Challenges in the coming days, weeks, and months.

- Integrity Class I will leave the room and stand outside the door to listen to what goes on. Do they truly act as if I were in the room when I am not there?
- Integrity Trash I will plant some paper scraps in the hallway and reward any student that takes the initiative to pick them up as we walk to lunch.
- Integrity Walk Before they go to specials, I leave 30 seconds in advance and hide somewhere in the halls. While they begin their unescorted travels, I watch from afar.
- Integrity Treasure I put the treasure chest in the front of the room with some random props in it. The students know that nobody touches the chest except for the teacher. I tell a student (preferably a good actor) to take a look in the box when I leave the room. I then see which students will (a) approach that student to tell him it was wrong, (b) which students will tell me, and (c) which students just ignore it altogether.
- After each activity we hold a class discussion. Prompts I use:
- How did it feel to live with Integrity? How did that increase the level of trust?
- How did it feel to not live with Integrity? What effects might that have on you or your team?
- What is the hardest part of our motto, Say it. Mean it. Do it.
- Do you agree or disagree with the statement "It is easy to stand up for what is right"? What makes standing up for your beliefs easier? What makes it more difficult?
- What are some strategies you could use to help a friend who is not living with Integrity?
