The thematic unit plan that I am working on this semester in Language Arts Methods 6-12 course relates to character education. I really think that with all of the teen depression, violence, and bullying within recent years, that it's important to begin chracter education early on in elementary school and procede into middle and high school. One of activities that I really enjoyed adding to the thematic unit plan involved students being able to role play through different scenarios they might encounter in middle and high school and how they would handle these situations.
The following websites were also very helpful in creating activities and researching character eduation:
http://charactercounts.org (Well-known adopted character education program in schools)

http://www.goodcharacter.com/
http://myhero.com/go/about/ (Students can research role models that show examples of good character)
