1. Make a Word document to start with. Find a definition of ethics that make sense to you. Add the URL where you got it from.
2. Research The “Heinz dilemma” in Wikipedia and read the story. What do you think he should do and why? Write a paragraph explaining your decision and the reasons for it.
3. Find and read Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. Which stage do you think you are at and why? Write a paragraph about this.
4. Make a presentation using Power Point or Photostory that explains EITHER the Heinz story and the different levels of response OR a different ethical issue of your own choice. Be as creative as you can with graphics and sound and animation. Remember to acknowledge your sources of both information and images. You may use headphones but must return them tidily to the container at the end of the period.
