Students will work together in a cooperative learning situation to create their very own country from scratch including a map, flag, government, and so much more. This project forces to show empathy toward their group members while making decisions. Likewise, this lesson raises moral awareness by applying virtues in the concrete situation of working collaboratively in a group. This lesson must be taught alongside a consistent and direct character education program. Below is a link and video to possible programs and practices that could be used to accomplish this goal.
