Part of Lesson Plan: Business Ethics

Activity Overview / Details

Short group activity that will take approximately 15 – 20 minutes.

In checking for understanding, have students break up into groups of 3-4. Have them discuss and then write up a response to the following questions (and hand-out, Business Ethics), in which one individual in the group will share with the class (each person has a part – contributor, recorder,time-keeper, speaker):

(Note: Teachers in a computer lab may wish to have the assignment typed with all students' names instead of hand-written.)

1.What makes the decisions on the T-Charts “right” or “wrong”?  - Make a list.

2.How do you determine if the decision you are making is right or wrong?  - What guides you to make decisions?

3.Was there an individual in the group who did not participate? How did it make the group feel about the lack of participation from the individual.? What do you do about it?

As students finish, have them practice what they are going to say to the class and have the group critique.

Have each individual speaker for each group present their findings to the class.  Initiate a class/round robin discussion where everyone says something about the topic.
