Rubric - Ethical Decision Making, Role
Immersion, Collaboration - 15 pts.

Scenario 1 – Two friends, Kate and

along with identification belonging to
someone named Sarah.
Scenario 2 – Mymie and Mark are
students who are studying for a difficult

classmates, Alex, has access to the exam
questions in advance. Sarah and Mark
are tempted to ask Alex for the
questions so they can study them and
improve their grades.
Scenario 3 – Emma and Liam are best
friends who work together at a local

So now let’s discuss this approach.

Moralist
 Moralist criticism, a literary text is
expected to reinforce traditionally held
moral values, Courage, maturity,
sensitivity, honesty, and so on are all
expected to be upheld by the text, and
literature that challenges or erodes
these values is less valued

Moralist Criticism weighs the

text by these considerations:

 Is a practical, moral, or ethical

idea being presented?
 How does the text play out
given ethical principles?
 Does the work seem to build a
positive or negative influence on
its readers?

None so far, sir!

Any questions?
