Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa! Let’s talk about the virtues! “What’s that?” you say. What are virtues and who needs them anyway? Well, lads and lassies, step right up, spin the Wheel of Virtue and you’re sure to find out! We’ll do a little “character education” with our characters to see which virtues they have and which ones they might need to come by. And get this: your class will spin the wheel to decide what stories we tell. Meet the famous and not so famous, the real and not-so-real, the good and not-so-good, as we learn what Virtue Reality is all about.
