THE STORY
R honda and her friends are dividing up tasks for a school science project which must be completed over the weekend. But Rhonda is so irresponsible that her friends don't trust her to do anything important, and this makes her feel very bad. When she begs them for a chance to redeem herlf by taking on a key task, they reluctantly go along. But just when she's getting down to business, another friend invites Rhonda to go away and spend the weekend at Disneyland. This, of cour, would mean shirking her responsibility and letting down her friends again. What a dilemma! In the end, though, she takes the good advice of a group of real children led by host Michael Pritchard, and makes the responsible choice. As a result, Rhonda wins the respect of her friends and feels very good about herlf.
HOW TO BE
A RESPONSIBLE PERSON
(AND FEEL GREAT!)
When you agree to do something, do it. If you let people down, they'll stop believing you. When you follow through on your commitments, people take you riously.
Answer for your own actions. Don't make excus or blame others for what you do. When you take responsibility for your actions you are saying "I am the one who's in charge of my life."
Take care of your own matters. Don't rely on adults to remind you when you're suppod to be somewhere or what you're suppod to bring. You take the responsibility.
conductor是什么意思
Be trustworthy. If somebody trusts you to borrow or take care of something, treat it like it's the most valuable thing on earth and return it on time.

GROUP
ACTIVITIES
Dear Teacher or Discussion Leader: In discussing responsibility with your kids, plea try to steer the conversation away from the issue of "chores." While chores may be important (to parents, anyway), they are relatively insignificant compared with nobler aspects of responsibility that have to do with character and integrity. We urge you to frame the conversation in this broader light.
1.Write the six responsible behaviors from page 3 on the board (or make copies of the page and hand them out). Have the children think of a few examples for each behavior. Then, for each example, have them brainstorm ways of handling irresponsible people. List the best ideas on the board.
2.Take the examples from activity #1, above, and turn them into role-playing situations using two kids at a time. First, have them role-play the irresponsible behavior, and then, the responsible behavior. Have the group critique each of the role-plays.
3.Design a "Being Responsible" poster illus-trating the six behaviors on the opposite page. Put it up on your classroom wall.
4.Have a discussion about classroom responsibil-ity. What are the kids' responsibilities, and what are the teacher's responsibilities? Make a chart of the responsibilities on the board. What are the conquences of being irresponsible? What are the rewards of being responsible?
