CONSIDER… Scenario 1
A mother placed a cookie jar on a high shelf to stop Sam from getting any cookies. After she left, Sam broke a cup while trying to steal the cookies
Scenario 2Tevis went into
the kitchen to help his mother clean, but accidentally broke 10 cups.
If a younger child was asked, “ Who should be punished?” Predict what he/she might say. What might an older child say?

POSSIBLE RESPONSE The younger child might say, "Tevis,
because he broke the most cups.” The older child might say, "Sam.
Because he broke the cup while trying to steal cookies.”

P.O.V.• Test to know where students are developmentally• Adult/teacher and child relationship awareness• Learn morality from experiences, group interaction,
process of discovery, reflection, assimilation, accommodation
