Discussion: With your table, discuss the following:

Have one person at your table volunteer to write down the group's thoughts, and then we will share them as a class.

Discussion: Here is a hypothetical - the answers to the AST next year have been found by someone in the school.So far no one of authority seems to be aware of this, you know of a few people who have been studying the answers for the last month and none of them have been approached by a teacher about it. One of these people have offered you a copy of the answers. Would you take it?

Discuss with your table, and then we will discuss as a class.

Lecture: Have a look at Kohlberg's stages of morality, and I will help explain them.

Activity: Fill out this table. The "looking" it refers to is the discussion we had earlier, on whether you would look at the AST answers or not. Fill out the table from the perspective of someone at each stage of Kohlberg's stages of morality, trying to reason out why they might look or not look based on that stage.
