Something to think about...
Today in class we started an interesting discussion around what is bravery? Do you have to risk your life to be brave? Do you have to be scared to be brave?
Three more cases to consider:
1. Sandy jumps off the bottom step onto the ground, and walks away to buy her lunch.
2. Candy jumps off the highest diving board, lands with a splash and swims to the ladder.
3. Mandy jumps off the top of her house, lands with a splat, breaks both legs and both arms and gets taken to hospital.
Do you think that Sandy, Candy and Mandy are brave? Why or why not?
