Think & Share
1. What does the “web” in the poem represent
It represents a complicated situation, in which once we tell a lie, we have to continue to tell more other lies in order to cover the previous ones.
2. What would you do in the situations described in the passage
3. What do you think is the difference between a lie and a white lie
Students’ own answers.
A lie is told to cover the truth in order to benefit yourself, which can be harmful to others. A white lie is told to avoid hurting others, without bad intention.
4. How would you feel if you were told a white lie Share your experience with the class if this has happened to you.
Students’ own answers.
Activity 4 Work in groups. Give a talk on the importance of honesty following the steps below.
Explain what honesty is.
Give reasons for the importance of being honest.
Support your reasons with examples.
End with your conclusion.
What is honesty Many children think honesty means you “don’t tell a lie”-- and that is definitely part of being honest. But honesty means more than not lying. A more complete definition of honesty shows that an honest person doesn’t do things that are morally wrong. If something you do is breaking the law or if you have to hide what you are doing because you’ll get in trouble, you are probably not being honest. So honesty is about speaking and acting truthfully.
Possible answer:
When you do something you know is morally wrong, or when you have to hide your actions because you know they are wrong, you are not being honest. Being honest means you act in a way that you know is the right thing to do.
A big part of honesty is what you say and how you act toward others. But another part of the definition of honesty is whether you treat yourself the same way. Being honest with yourself means you really know why you are acting in a certain way or whether what you tell yourself is true.
So honesty is not only about speaking and acting truthfully but also whether you treat yourself the same way. Learning to be honest and eliminating the need for lies can help to clean up your conscience and your relationships. Shifting your perspective slightly and orienting yourself to a policy of honesty can help you to eliminate the need for lies and make it more attractive to tell the truth.
