Pillars of Marauder Character – Trustworthiness
One of the Pillars of Marauder Character is Trustworthiness. Last week we watched a video that dealt with the issue of trust and followed it up yesterday with a discussion of the character traits you believe someone needs to possess (have within them) to be trusted. Below you will find some of the ideas you presented: Period 1’s is on top and Period 2’s is on the bottom (If you click on them you will be taken to a enlarged version). What is interesting to note is that in both classes many of the same ideas were presented — often just using different words for the same concept.
The reason I think the issue of “trustworthiness” is important to discuss in a reading class is that so much of what we will be doing together this year is based on trust. We will be working on skills together to become more proficient (good) readers. For some of you, we will focus on fluency (speed and accuracy); for others it might be vocabulary (understanding what words mean); and for the rest it might be comprehension (making meaning out what is written and unwritten). Regardless of what area we focus, being willing to try and, possibly, fail the first few times we try in front of our peers (fellow students) is scary. As a result, sometimes we don’t trust ourselves or those around us and, as a result, we don’t try to do our best. Not doing our best is not an option!!! – We must trust those around us to support us in our efforts and we must support those around us in their efforts!!!
The only way to do this is to recognize how we feel about trust. So I ask you to review the words you used yesterday to describe the traits a trustworthy person. Then complete the following sentence (#1) and answer the following questions (#2-4):
- You know someone is trustworthy when….
- Do you trust yourself?
- Do you trust your classmates? Why or why not?
- Do you think your classmates trust you? Why or why not?
Please be honest with yourself — it is one of the traits of a “trustworthy” person.
