Each of these 4 programs teaches about respect. By the end of this program students will understand the importance of respecting rules, themselves, and others.
Annie Redfeather is set to run in a big track meet against her archrival, Bobbie Summers. Midway through the race, Annie hits a hurdle and falls down, causing her to be discouraged about ever running a race again. Stories about courage help to change her mind.
When Annie's father is called for jury duty, the family vacation is put on hold. Annie is very excited about taking a trip and she doesn't understand why her father can't just postpone his jury duty. Her complaint prompts several stories up at Plato's Peak about citizenship -- the civic virtue.
When Annie's new "best friend" breaks her promise and chooses someone else to be her partner on a canoe trip, Annie's feelings are hurt, provoking a discussion about the meaning of true friendship.
