Unit 6
Unit Overview
In this final unit, learners learn about integrity and what it means to practice integrity in their everyday lives. Through role-play, students identify what it means to have integrity in the real and digital world, an environment where anonymity makes integrity appear less important.
As with the previous units, learners connect values with their personal life and how practicing integrity can improve quality of life, stress management, task prioritization, and interpersonal relationships.
