Learning Guide Excerpt
To demonstrate how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to improve lesson plans, we have set out below one of the discussion questions from the Learning Guide to Great Expectations.
For each of the major characters in the film, review The Six Pillars of Character and describe how the actions of the character embodied or violated the moral principles described in the Pillars. Did any of the characters grow or change in their understanding of ethical principles during the course of the film? If so, identify the characters and describe their growth. (The Six Pillars of Character are based upon the ethical principals of the three major Western religions and ethical humanism. They were developed by the Josephson Institute for Ethics and have been endorsed by numerous groups in the U.S. and other countries.)
The Learning Guide to the film Great Expectations contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
