Wingle, Jane
Teaching Pre K-8, v37 n3 p50-51 Nov-Dec 2006
In a religion class of 26 bright creative sixth graders, one student demonstrates the power of peer pressure. Part of the morning ritual is to say prayer petitions. Students seems to be calmed by their expressions of care for their families, friends, pets, their military troops, victims of natural disasters, the homeless, etc. However, one student decided to shake things up a bit. This article describes how a student's decision to be a leader or a follower can be a valuable teachable moment that presents itself without an outline or lesson plan.
