Develop a class definition based upon the groups' definitions. A standard is a reference point used to judge people and events. Brainstorm standards Have students brainstorm standards. Then discuss their work. We admire people because of the standards they exhibit.
Teens often adopt the standards of people they admire.
Ranking Standards Have students complete the student page. Then divide the class into groups of four to five to compare their answers on the student page and to reach a group consensus on the top five standards. Have groups report on their rankings and provide a rationale. Discuss the standards the groups ranked in the top five. What influences people to have different standards.
