Pass out the What Would You Do? activity sheet. Ask the Explorers to follow the steps they have learned to resolve the ethical problem on the activity sheet. Tell the participants to write under each step how they have applied that step to the problem. After Explorers have had enough time to complete the activity sheet, lead a group discussion about the problem and their thoughts on a solution.
Pass out the Ethics Journal activity sheet. Explain to participants they are to record their thoughts about each question. Remind them there is not a right or wrong answer; they are simply to write what they think about each question. After they have had enough time to complete the activity sheet, ask for volunteers to share their thoughts.
Some sample questions are below. They are designed to help the participants apply what they have learned to their own interests. You are welcome to use these questions or develop your own questions that relate to the post or your specific focus area.
