Building personal integrity and ethical standards

 

Evan is the most promising athlete on the swim team. But he's facing failure in his science class--and academic failure means losing his place on the team and his athletic scholarship. His friend Mark offers help, but when the two plan to do the assigned science experiment together, Evan fails to show up, deciding instead to spend time with his girlfriend. That choice leads Evan to make another choice--to take the results of Mark's work on the experiment, and present it as his own. Are there consequences to unethical decisions? Evan is faced with yet another decision--to continue on the path he has chosen, or to make things right and suffer the consequences. This video also features recording artist Lisa Bevill, and will prompt lively discussion among your students.
