Introduction

"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to dive into an important and fascinating topic—business ethics. Can anyone tell me what they think business ethics means? (Pause for student responses.) Great points! Business ethics refers to the principles and standards that guide behavior in the world of business. Why do you think it's significant? (Encourage a few more responses.) Exactly! It's crucial because it affects how companies operate, how they gain trust, and how ethical decisions can lead to success or failure.

Now, as we move through today's lesson, I want you to think about real-world scenarios where ethics play a role. Ready to explore?"

Homework Check

"Before we get into our activities, let's take a moment to review the homework from our last lesson on business principles. Please pass your assignments to the front. I’ll collect them without you presenting them publicly, but I will provide brief feedback as needed. (Collect assignments.) Thank you for your hard work! Remember, if you have any specific questions about the homework, feel free to ask me later."

Interactive Activity Setup

"Now, let’s get into a fun activity! I’m going to hand out some printable cards to each of you. (Distribute the cards.) These cards are important for our next exercise. I want you to fill them in with your thoughts about the ethical principles we've discussed and some examples of ethical dilemmas you’ve heard of or experienced.

Make sure you think about how these examples relate to business ethics. You'll have about five minutes to complete this, so let's get started!"

Group Discussion

"Time's up! Now, I want you to form small groups of about four students each. (Give students a moment to organize.) Within your groups, I will provide you with an ethical dilemma or case study. You will discuss it together for the next ten minutes, focusing on the ethical implications involved. Remember to encourage one another to share ideas and consider the various perspectives.

After your discussions, we’ll regroup and share some insights. Let's brainstorm together!"

Collect/Check Cards

"Okay, everyone, I hope your discussions sparked some interesting thoughts! Now, I’d like you to hand in your filled cards. Please pass them to the front. (Collect cards.) Alternatively, I may walk around to do some random checks to see what ideas you came up with. This will also help ensure that everyone participated and engaged with the material. Thank you for your contributions!"

Assign Homework

"Before we wrap up, I want to assign some homework related to our discussion on business ethics. I won't give you specific questions, but I encourage you to think critically about the concepts we talked about today. Reflect on how ethical decision-making can affect real businesses and the importance of integrity in the corporate world.

I’m looking forward to hearing your perspectives in our next lesson!"

"Thanks for your participation today, everyone! Have a great day!"
