__Gathering__: Ask students to take out their SEL journals, and define the following terms: Honesty and Integrity. Once they have attempted to define these two terms, explain that in today’s lesson students will be learning what those two terms mean and why they’re important. Call students back to the carpet to for the read aloud. Before reading, ask students to listen for the characters in the story who are not being honest. __Activity__: Read the story to students. Once complete, students share their perspectives of the two individuals (father & clown) that were dishonest. Explain that integrity means that you have good morals and values, and always follow those. When you demonstrate honesty, you are following your good morals and values. Have students again reflect on the book to share who did show honesty and integrity, and how. Ask students to return to their SEL journals, and write the correct definition of honesty and integrity in their journals. You may choose to put these definitions on the board to copy. After defining these two terms, share with students that you would like them to illustrate ways they show integrity at school or home. Model your expectations by completing the attached worksheet that you will be giving to students to complete. Share two or three ways that you have shown integrity in the past so that students get a good understanding of what integrity really means. Pass out the worksheet and give students adequate time to think, write, and draw. __Debrief/Closing__: Have students share what one way s/he shows integrity at home or school.
