UNDERSTANDING: Choose one or more of the following to take your knowledge to understanding:

·         -Do a word study on another word that stood out to you in your studies this week

·        - Make a video or skit, draw a picture, or write a story or poem about someone showing integrity in their lives.  It could be about the people mentioned in any of the readings above, someone in your own life, or a make-believe situation.  For instance, you could do a “poem” where you spell out “I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y” on the side of a paper, and fill in sentences or words from each letter that help describe what you have learned this week.

·        - Learn a song about integrity and perform it for us, your family, or friends.

·        - Look around you for someone in your life that shows the kind of integrity to themselves that Star Girl does.  Interview them and ask them how they do it!

INTELLIGENCE:  Take your understanding to intelligence by doing one or more of the following:

·         Review the questions on page 101 of “Just Like Jesus” and answer them prayerfully and truthfully, recording your answers in your journal.

·         For one whole day, speak nothing but the truth, including exaggerations.  Record how it went in your journal or tell a parent or some other trusted person.

·         Teach a Family Home Evening on Integrity.  Tell us how it went!
