In your

who encounter ethical
dilemmas as they work in their
part-time jobs after school.
Each tabloid-size It's for Real newspaper
look-alike or Narrated CD

ethics topic that requires
critical thinking and problem

- The short story tells of an ethical dilemma encountered by one of the five young people.
- "The Boss’s Point of View" describes what a boss might think about each ethical situation.
- "Ask Jess" answers questions about ethical concerns related to a specific topic.
- Activities challenge students to consider other cases that involve the same ethical problem.
- Each of It's For Real newspapers includes 30
student copies of the following 16 ethical issues.
- Each issue comes with it's own Instructor's Guide.
Each of the 32 Instructor's Guides
contains three contextual learning activities, teaching suggestions, solutions, and
transparency masters. Activity 1 requires problem
solving. Activity 2 integrates job skills with English, math,
science or social studies. Activity 3 promotes cooperative
learning, provides a challenge, and demands critical thinking. Suggestions and recommendations for instructors include performance
standards and a generic evaluation system.
The
It's for Real interactive CD provides a fun and
compelling look at real workplace ethics. The narrated stories are the same as in the paper version. Students may work
individually or in groups on-screen. ON/OFF narration and
integrated activities address the needs of visual, auditory and
kinesthetic learners. Students type their answers on screen
and print a hard copy for the teacher. To have a free Demo CD mailed to you, please request free samples today!
