Three apples—green, red, and rotten—exemplify character traits, negative and positive. Following a discussion about the classroom community, scholars complete an apple-themed worksheet that challenges them to read each trait, color it accordingly, then place it on a classroom tree. A final discussion reviews whether certain character traits help or harm the classroom community.
