🔔 Bell Ringer: Sit down and prep for the day quickly. Let's have a chit-chat...

1. The "Found Money" Scenario

The Question: You find a wallet on the school hallway floor. Inside is $50 and a student ID of someone you know is a 'bully'. Do you return it with the cash, return it empty, or leave it there?

2. The "Friendship vs. Rules" Dilemma

The Question: Your best friend tells you they cheated on the final exam to pass the class... they cheated off of you, and you didn't even know it. If they get caught, they’ll be kicked off the sports team, but you'll probably go down with them. The teacher asks you if anyone knows anything about cheating. Do you stay silent or speak up?

3. The "Group Project" Dilemma

The Question: You are the leader of a group project worth 40% of your grade. One teammate has done zero work because they are dealing with a difficult situation at home. If you tell the teacher, they fail the class. If you don't tell the teacher, you have to do all their work yourself, and they get an 'A' they didn't earn. What do you do?
