We just finished the book Freak The Mighty in the Reading Workshop. So today on the Reading Workshop Blog we had to comment about integrity and if sixth graders have integrity. This is what I had to say.
I think integrity matters to a sixth grader. If I don’t have integrity when I am a kid I am going to grow up thinking it is okay to lie and steal. But it is not okay. If you think steeling is fine then you need to stop and think about what you do and say. If I have integrity when I am a kid I will grow up being a person someone can trust.
If you compare Kevin’s integrity to mine I think they would be similar and different. They would be different because I would not lie about getting a new body. Kevin and me are similar because I know lying is not good and I believe Kevin did not lie to hurt Max. I think Kevin knew lying is wrong.
Yes, integrity guides how I live my life. If I have good integrity I will live a great life.
