Day 2: Responsibility, Evacuation and Goals



We analyzed characters in The Story of Harvey and wrote a paragraph about responsibility in response to the text.

You can read the story here:


  • What does our discussion suggest about responsibility?
  • What did you learn from this process about communication, cooperation, and decision-making?
After you wrote your paragraphs I asked if it was fair to blame one person in this kind of situation.

We'll have to look at another pillar of character, FAIRNESS, later on in the course and revisit Harvey's situation later.
