Guiding Questions for Parents.

Definition: Integrity means being honest, and responsible and respectful all the time, whether or not people can see what you’re doing. In short: Do the right thing, even when no one's looking. Summary: When Finn tells fibs, little “blobs” appear, visible only to Finn. Fibb is bothered by the blobs and also the feelings he has when he tells fibs. Once he decides to tell the truth, the annoying blobs disappear, life is even better than normal, and now Finn knows what to do when he’s tempted to lie. Lesson Objectives:

Students understand Finn’s challenges and consequently they choose to do what Finn did when he decided to always tell the truth, even when it hurts.
