What kind of questions can help students reflect on a character’s moral dilemmas?

Questions that prompt students to consider the consequences of a character's choices are particularly effective in helping them reflect on moral dilemmas. This type of inquiry encourages students to think critically about the decisions a character makes and the ethical implications of those decisions. By examining the consequences—whether positive or negative—students can better understand the complexities of the situation, including the character's intentions, motivations, and the impact of their actions on themselves and others.

This reflective process not only deepens comprehension of the character but also fosters discussions around broader moral and ethical questions, allowing students to relate the character's experiences to their own values and decisions. It invites them to engage not only with the narrative but also with the moral nuances embedded within the story.
