know”? etc 7. Once each group has listed these positive character traits, student groups work together to
create a character on Voki.com. At the end of the lesson, each group should have answered these questions: a. What are the positive character traits the prince shows? (Bravery, Kindness, and
Honesty) b. Where does he show these traits? What acts does he do to show these traits? Share your Voki lesson plans and download others at www.voki.com/lesson_plans.php.
