| The following is an example for Lakota Virtues. Modify the resources to fit the Indigenous people of your area. Hand out the “Four Values of Lakota” and discuss the first four listed. Hand out a Venn Diagram with titles for “4 Virtues”, “7 Virtues”, and “12 Virtues”. Using the bottom portion of the “Four Values of Lakota”, have students fill out the Venn Diagram. Using the 7 common virtues, assign one to each 7 different groups. Have students present a definition and an example for each. | While students are in seven groups, assign the 7 different qualities outlined in “George Washington Leads the Way” (Mount Vernon Comix) – If you do not have the comix you can use the American Founding website below as a resource. Have each group discuss and, in a way of their choosing, present their assigned quality of a Revolutionary Leader to the class. After each presentation students will need to write a description of the quality presented. | Using their Venn Diagram and notes, students will make an acrostic of their name. Each letter and description needs to reflect a virtue or quality. – Include an image of the virtue/quality that speaks to them the most. |
