Students may help others earn badges by reporting them for showing positive traits. Expand the activity by having groups help one another earn their teamwork badge. Set specific tasks to complete at home to encourage positive behavior outside school. Have students self-assess to identify traits that may need further practice. Students can write or construct an acrostic poem about the various character traits. * You will need Acrobat 7.0 or later - please contact me if you required an earlier version.
