Introduction

Loyalty means being devoted to others, ideas, and beliefs, and even groups. What are some things you are loyal to?

Critical Thinking

Consider the following situation on your own: Imagine you find out some bad news before your friends. You are trying out for a team. You happen to be in the office and accidentally see the roster and notice your best friend didn’t make the team, but you did. The captain of the team realizes you saw the list and asks you not to tell your friend they didn’t make the team because the official roster doesn’t come out until next week.

What do you do? Try to think of a few different things you could do (positive, negative, and neutral). What might the results of your actions be?

Collaboration

For a small group, each student presents their ideas to the whole class. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.

For a larger group, divide students into small groups and have students present their ideas to the small group. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.
