My Position

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a tool for students to explore and analyze the broader implications of an idea or position. The central oval provides a space for stating the idea or position in question. Surrounding this are prompts asking the student to consider and write down the effects of this idea on different people and to identify any cascading effects that might result. The final question encourages students to reflect on how their awareness of these effects influences their feelings about the idea or position.

The worksheet aims to teach students to think beyond the immediate implications of an idea and understand the wider consequences that can unfold. It prompts them to consider who will be affected by the idea and in what ways, fostering empathy and a broader perspective. By exploring cascading effects, students learn to anticipate and reason through the potential long-term impacts of decisions or beliefs. This reflective process is crucial in developing thoughtful, conscientious individuals who can evaluate ideas not only on their immediate merits but also on their extended influence on society and individuals.
