This presentation will be on how to teach values and ethics in Harry Potter. Benjamin, who currently teaches Jewish values and ethics in Harry Potter, will discuss how to convert this into a secular setting. Benjamin will explain the general structure of his class as well as a few specific lessons, such as those on the values of humility and respecting others. Benjamin will show how ethics can be taught and explored through using Harry Potter as a guide.
