Would you speak up if you saw something completely ridiculous? Or would you keep your doubts to yourself? This lesson examines the importance of thinking for oneself, even if everyone else disagrees using Hans Christian Andersen’s fable “The Emperor’s New Clothes” to demonstrate the point. Students will gain a better understanding of the potential pitfalls of conformity, compliance, and obedience while fostering a healthy self-confidence.
