magine that you are in your pre-ex- istance, not yet born. At this time you are on your way to an auction. At the auction you have S186,000 to bid for any value you wish. The val- ue that you purchase will be yours for life on earth. The value auction is just one of the ways teachers Mr. John Orr and Ms. Joanne McGee taught values in their classes. I feel it's important that the stu- dents realize what their values are before it's too late, stated Mr. Orr, who had been doing the value auction for five years. In addition to the auction, Mr. Orr had his students write an es- say to evaluate their participa- tion and purchase. I tried to V WHILE POINTING at a prospec- tive buyer, Mr. Orr auctions off Love. Love was one of the highest going val- ues. bjective: teaching a valuable lesson Project: learning about new ojbectives participate for the values I want- ed because it made it fun, but I learned a lot about others as well as myself, said junior Daily Godfrey. Through the help of a book ti- tled Uses: Values Clarifica- tion, a handbook for teachers and students, other ideas were brought into Mr. Orr's class- room teachings. Ms. McGee also used the val- ue auction in her class. She found that the auction not only helped the students, but it helped her also. I learn a lct about the students. I try not to teach them a certain value, I just try to have them see what is real- ly important, said Ms. McGee. You see the other sides of the students. Lessons with such things as films and writings were used by Mr. Dan Priest to stress the need of values. He had his class play value games where roles were played. For example, the class was asked to imagine a shipw- reck, where there are 26 people, but only room for 8 on the life- boat. The students examined the qualities of each person and selected which were most impor- tant to preserve. Writing in journals was an- other project that Mr. Preist as- signed to his students. He asked them to write on certain topics that often required the acknowl- edgement of a value. I feel that it is important that students are taught values. That's why I be- came a teacher, there's more to teaching a class than just a sub- ject, said Mr. Priest. I think it is important that values are taught. I think most teachers at least teach the basics of trust and respect, stated ju- nior Sonia Villegas. Q J
