You are a first grade teacher and your student mobility is off the charts. It is nearing Thanksgiving and
already 50% of your class of 22 is different than they were at the beginning of September. You want to
plan Thanksgiving activities for your class, but you are not certain how the parents of your learners will
react. It IS a national holiday, but not everyone observes or commemorates it. The story of the Pilgrim
Thanksgiving appears in your social studies curriculum and you are supposed to deal with it, but you
are aware that many of your learners may come from backgrounds that lean away from the idea of this
national day of thanksgiving. Additionally, you have two learners whose parents are Jehovah’s
Witnesses. The parents are emailing you, asking what you plan to do and what they should be prepared
to hear from their children. Also, the local newspaper is preparing its Thanksgiving issue and wants
pictures from the schools. What do you do?
All RED words are Headings. Use them in your writing. Delete all blue directions and comments to highlight your
ideas, including this one. Before printing, clean up all pages and prepare for presentation, review spacing on page.
Adjust if necessary, then print. Reformat and refine its appearance. Watch line spacing and widows and orphans.
Erase all blue text. Points are assigned for “fit and finish.”
Part I
•
Assigned Situation –max 1/2 page single spaced: This is the story you tell to describe
your ethical challenge/dilemma. Copy and paste it from Blackboard file. Add any items
you think necessary. You can only discuss what is in this description of the case. Include
all people and circumstances involved.
•
Converted/Translated Situation –max 1/2 page single spaced: Here, ADD your
translation of the Assigned Situation into a situation pertaining to your major which has
EXACTLY the same basic elements, although the setting, players and issues will reflect
circumstances affecting your major or the professionals who work in it. You may want to
consult with a professional in your field by email or phone to see what they see as being
analogous to your Assigned Situation in their field of work. If you or they cannot, you
must analyze the Assigned Situation. You can only discuss what is in this description of the
case. Include all people and circumstances involved.
• This Analysis will Consider the Assigned Situation ______
• This analysis will Consider the Converted/Translated Situation ______
•
Check one of the above two options to identify the situation you will analyze. Continue
the analysis with this in mind. It will be so evaluated.
•
Ethical Issue This is a broad area of inquiry, and the ethical question is a special case of
it; the area of inquiry can produce a large number of ethical questions, depending on the
situation. The case concerns itself with the following ethical issue area (“this case is
about”—this should be a word or phrase, not a sentence or question). Do not
submit a question or sentence or description here. Include what would be the label on the
tab of a file folder you use to store the case in a file cabinet or computer file. It will be a
word or phrase, not a question. That will appear below.(Answer here)
•
Ethical Question (Answer here) Enter one question only. If you enter more than one
question, label the others “Additional questions.” If you do not, you must include a complete
case analysis for each question. This will cost you an incredible amount of work and time.
•
Disputation What is at stake here? What are the major components or possibilities
involved in the issue or the ethical question? Remember to interpret the case with a view to
the information or technological aspects of the situation. How is technology involved in your
case – in its description, or its unfolding or your preparation of your response? What needs
to be considered in order to arrive at the most/best ethical resolution to the problem? (Answer
here)
End Case Part 1 (Erase this line. And, as usual, close up any unused space below.)
Part 2
ANALYSIS
• Dimensions
Which of the following dimensions has impact on your analysis of this case? Comment on
ALL dimensions and tell who (or what) is involved here.
In the chart, identify who or which dimension has bearing – or not – on the case. THAT’S ALL.
Simply define/describe who or what has bearing and put Yes, No or Somewhat in the column on
the right. The purpose of this section of your analysis is to have you consider all of the possible
influences on your final decision. The challenge is to identify and to describe each of them in
detail. Later on, you will assign weights to each of them, but for now your task is MERELY to
identify them.
