Class Activity: Ask students about decisions they have to make and
have them go through the decision making process with the class for
their decisions.
View PowerPoint #1: Decision Making Process and discuss in detail
explaining each bullet point of each slide.
Student Activity: Distribute Assignment #1: Decision Making Process
and allow students time to complete the assignment (15-20 minutes or
assign as homework). Stress to the students that this assignment is not
about the decision they make, but more about how they reach the
decision. Explain to them that it is VERY important that they follow the
decision making process to reach their decision. STRESS to the
students that this is NOT a right or wrong answer assignment. The goal
is to use the decision making process properly regardless of the
decision reached. (This can be an in-class or out-of-class assignment.)
