Six Pillars of Character

 * Trustworthiness
 * Respect
 * Responsibility
 * Fairness
 * Caring
 * Citizenship

**Task:** Select a character trait to define. You may look it up in the dictionary or online. Then, in your own words, give a definition for that character trait on an index card. Please write in ink. Be careful of your spelling. Then choose one of the following activities: **1.** Using the program Paint, create a picture of someone exhibiting the character trait. Include two or more sentences that describe what is happening in the picture. You may type the sentences in a separate document. **2.** Write a skit/play about some people in a situation where this character trait is being exhibited. You will need to use dialog (conversation) between the people in the skit. Be sure that we, the audience, knows what the characters are doing, not just what they are saying. **3.** Write a narrative about something in your life that you've done to exhibit this character trait. Be detailed. Tell what was happening, what you did to exhibit this quality, and how you felt about it. **4.** Make a children's book to teach a younger student about what it means to exhibit the trait that you chose to look up. Be sure to use simple vocabulary, lots of colorful pictures, and easy-to-remember main characters.
