If you are interested in reading the article yourself or sharing with your students, take a look here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/story\/_\/id\/21591344\/purdue-boilermaker-players-make-uniform-statement\">Purdue Boilers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As always, please be sure to preview the article beforehand to make sure it fits into your classroom. This activity can be completed without having students read the article.<\/p>\n<p>If you have not heard of their actions, the team worked to choose values that would be displayed on their warm-up shirts. Words such as friendship, empathy and equality were chosen. Each team member has a shirt displaying a word that is meaningful to the team.<\/p>\n<p>The actions of the men&rsquo;s basketball team inspired us to create this activity. We see this being an activity that will fit well into the New Year (or back to school time.)<\/p>\n<p>The goal of this activity is for students to choose one word that represents character values important to them. We have provided a variety of materials so you may guide your students to focus on your class as a hole, themselves or their family. Choose the correct printables to match your focus.<\/p>\n<p>This activity might be completed as a whole class character values activity. After sharing the purpose of the lesson, it might be helpful to brainstorm a list of possible values with your students. Create an anchor chart of characters values which students can refer to while completing the activity.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3235 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint.jpg\" alt=\"Character Values Activity for the New Year\" width=\"637\" height=\"1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint.jpg 637w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint-592x1024.jpg 592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3235 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Character Values Activity for the New Year\" width=\"637\" height=\"1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint.jpg.webp 637w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint-173x300.jpg.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint-592x1024.jpg.webp 592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/oneword-pint.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>Another option for this lesson is to have this be a family task. Students can work with their families to choose one word that shares an important value of the family.<\/p>\n<p>This can also become a goal setting activity where students focus on one word they want to improve on over the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>If you have other ideas or extensions, please share below to help other teachers!<\/p>\n<p>The collection includes colorful posters for sharing a class word, bookmarks and even a list of values to help your students get started.<\/p>\n<p>You can download this set here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/pdf\/seasonal\/oneword.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Character Values<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Remember to bookmark this activity so you can easily find it each school year.
